Russian astronomer comments on evidence of the existence of the ninth planet of the Solar System

The hypothesis of the existence of the ninth planet of the solar system deserves attention, but if mathematical calculations are correct, astronomers will need up to five years to find it, they are considered at the State Astronomical Institute for them. Sternberg Moscow State University (GAISH), Interfax reports .

“Journalists have a little strengthened sensation. This is rather a suspicion, a hypothesis than a real discovery. No one has yet seen this planet, and it is unlikely that in the next year or two they will see it, because it is presumably far from the sun, ”said the senior researcher Gaish, the Russian astronomer and the popularizer of science Vladimir Surdin.

“This hypothesis deserves careful consideration. It is necessary that the large telescopes rush into this area of ​​the sky, look carefully, searched, but how it ends is not yet clear, ”Surdin added at the same time. - "I would like to be opened."

“I think that five years will have to wait until the new telescopes begin to work normally,” he explained.
