Message from the researcher
We have the unique chance to do something that no human has done in over 150 years - discover a new planet in our Solar System. Imagine being the first person in human history to spot Planet 9. I can't wait!
Planet 9About Planet 9
In the outer-reaches of our Solar System, far beyond Neptune, are a number of large objects that are orbiting the Sun in a highly unusual and unexpected way.
The presence of a ninth planet in our Solar System would explain these unexpected observations. However, this planet hasn’t yet been found.
Help us search for Planet 9; together we may be able to solve one of the greatest mysteries in the Universe.
