A new planet out there?

Planet NIne!. doesn't the term sound familiar? Well some of you would think about pluto, right? But unfortunately that fuzzy round ball isn't a planet anymore. The new Planet Nine(which hasn't been discovered yet xD) is actually a hypothetical body which had to exist because of drastic changes occurring in Neptune's orbit. 
The planet looks beautiful indeed?
So our scientists all being full of questions worked out with their mathematics and came up with this  so called "Planet Nine" I wrote about this sometime ago(check out here). So it old news now? But wait there, what now! Well a few months ago a project on Zooniverse started
with enrollment of common people like us to help the researchers find out if this object existed. 

 So 60,000 people from all over the globe contributed to it and studied 4 million objects! out of which only 4 are candidates for Planet Nine! I too contributed to it, it was fun!

 Mysterious indeed? And if we find this it would be a breakthrough because we haven't found one in our own solar system since more than a century. So wait for it and stay connected to us, our community will keep you updated.

A new planet out there?

By
On Jan. 20, 2016, scientists announced the discovery of what could be a giant planet in the Kuiper Belt at the outer edge of our solar system. Nicknamed "Planet Nine," the world is a behemoth - about 10 times the mass of the Earth. It would take the planet between 10,000 and 20,000 years to orbit the sun. The evidence for existence of Planet-9. Evidence for Planet Nine was unveiled by researchers Mike Brown and Konstantin Batygin at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California. The scientists used mathematical modeling and computer simulations to make the find, but have not actually observed the planet directly.

Dark Matter

Dark matter , doesn't the word relates to something mysterious out there?, Something which is revolving around our minds? Well actually it does!. The question that comes into the mind is "what do we mean by dark matter"? Dark matter refers to the hypothetical invisible substance in the universe. The universe has fixed shape(as it can be curved by mass) , so where did this mass come from? We know that galaxies also have a fixed shape ,though it changes slightly, but the overall picture seems to be more or less similar because they are bound to that shape. This shape, the curve due to mass, the "extra mass" all this points to something that is missing out there!! this is referred to as dark matter. Dark because  it is invisible to us and matter because it has mass and occupies the empty space in the universe and provides those galactic bodies a support structure. The distribution of the content of the universe. source : Google Now the term dark energy ...
