The orbits of Sedna, 2012 VP 113, Leleākūhonua, and other very distant objects along with the predicted orbit of Planet Nine [A]. An extreme trans-Neptunian object (ETNO) is a trans-Neptunian object orbiting the Sun well beyond Neptune (30 AU) in the outermost region of the Solar System.
Planet Nine is a hypothetical ninth planet in the outer region of the Solar System. [2] [4] Its gravitational effects could explain the peculiar clustering of orbits for a group of extreme trans-Neptunian objects (ETNOs), bodies beyond Neptune that orbit the Sun at distances averaging more than 250 times that of the Earth i.e. over 250 astronomical units (AU).
The hypothetical Planet Nine would modify the orbits of extreme trans-Neptunian objects via a combination of effects. On very long timescales exchanges of angular momentum with Planet Nine cause the perihelia of anti-aligned objects to rise until their precession reverses direction, maintaining their anti-alignment, and later fall, returning them to their original orbits.
Scientists say they have found new evidence that there is a hidden planet in our solar system. For years, some astronomers have been suggesting that unusual behaviour on the edge of our solar ...
Planet nine may be orbiting far from the Sun, at the edge of our solar system. Astronomers, seeing odd irregularities in the orbits of the outer planets suspect another, unknown, planet may orbit ...
TNOs: a vs. e (semi-log plot, 30–1000 AU): [1] Resonant plutinos (39 AU) and twotinos (48 AU) Inner and outer classical objects (< 39 and > 49 AU) Other resonant objects besides plutinos and twotinos Classical Kuiper belt objects (cubewanos) Scattered disc objects (SDO) Other TNOs (dots) and centaurs (asterisk) Sednoids, prominent ETNOs
This list includes all numbered trans-Neptunian objects with a semi-major axis greater than 30.1 astronomical units (AU), Neptune's average orbital distance from the Sun. The data is sourced from MPC's "List of Trans Neptunian Objects" and "List Of Centaurs and Scattered-Disk Objects", completed with remarks and information from Johnston's Archive (diameter, class, binary, albedo, spectral ...
In 2019, there was a "healthspan-lifespan gap" of 9.6 years globally, a 13% increase from 8.5 years in 2019, Mayo Clinic researchers found.
