Is there an elusive ninth planet lurking beyond Pluto? In this video, we explore the mystery of the hypothetical Planet 9, a world that may be lurking in the outer reaches of our solar system. Despite not yet being directly observed, there is strong evidence to suggest that a massive planet is influencing the orbits of distant objects in the Kuiper Belt. So where is Planet 9 located, and how can we find it?

Join me as we explore the latest research and theories about Planet 9. We'll delve into the evidence for its existence, including the unusual clustering of the orbits of distant Kuiper Belt objects, and learn about the possible location of the planet based on computer simulations and other indirect detection methods. We'll also take a look at the ongoing efforts to directly observe Planet 9 using powerful telescopes, and discuss the challenges of finding a dark, distant object in the vastness of space.
