Planet X
Home Up Science Experiments Galaxies Solar System

 

 

Scientists have been trying to discover if there is another planet in our solar system. They thought there might be a 10th planet (planet x) because of their measurements about the motion and mass of other planets.  Scientists hope IRAS, which is a tracking station that tracks beyond Jupiter, will help them find planet x. They are looking in the Kuiper belt for planet x.   Recently, scientists found what might be a planet, with a small moon, very far away.  It hasn't been decided yet if this is planet x or not.

 

On the left and below are an artist's pictures of what planet x might look like.
