Planet Nine could be a black hole, according to a new research

A few astronomers have been of the opinion that an unknown planet was behind the unexplained gravitational energies that were noticed acting on far off celestial bodies. According to the latest reports, a black hole could very well be the reason behind what is said to be 'Planet nine'. 

10 times bigger than the earth

According to reports, the planet 9 was said to be 10 times bigger than the Earth and 20 times further away from the Sun, setting it as the outer most planet in the solar system. It further made it difficult for concerned scientists to study it. 

With new reports coming in, the researchers are of the opinion that the planet which has not yet been officially proven, is a hypothetical black hole also known as a primordial black hole, a phenomenon created soon after the big bang took place 13.8 billion years ago. 

With these black holes being created at such an early stage that they are of a small size as compared to the black holes of today's time. Even if these black holes are small in size but still have 10 times the mass of Earth.

A case with exciting possibilities

The scientists working on this case have called it a case with exciting possibilities and a case that has reasonable logic. Experts started accepting the fact that there was something big on the edge of our solar system, as it could clarify why the nearby planetary group is marginally off balance.

In most of the systems, the encompassing planets will in general turn in accordance with their host. Be that as it may, in our system, the planets are at an edge of six degrees off its axis. There are additionally various other odd highlights in our planetary system that would be clarified by 'Planet Nine'.

One of the bizarre facts is that the Kuiper Belt – a circumstellar plate full of with frigid space rocks, comets and dwarf planets which includes the nearby planetary system, orbits in the other way to the planets inside of it. 

According to researchers, these objects were thought to be primordial dark gaps and focus on the circles of trans-Neptunian planets would be changed on the off chance that one of these PBHs was caught by the Solar System, in line with the Planet 9 theory. 

On the off chance that Planet Nine turned out to be a black hole, it would likewise clarify why it has been so far difficult to spot as analysts have so far been searching for an object in visible light.
