The American scientists have not only found evidence of the existence of an enormous new planet in the solar system, but also to assure that it is “ninth planet” could be the cause of the destruction of life on Earth millions of years ago. According to astrophysicists, this giant can threaten our planet in the near future.
Astrophysics from the University of Louisiana Daniel Whitmire argue that detected outside the orbit of Pluto a planet, named by scientists “ninth planet” of the solar system, could threaten life on Earth. It is noted that this planet could be the cause of death of all life on Earth millions of years ago.
According to the scientists, this mysterious planet orbits around the sun and occasionally crosses the Kuiper belt, encountering comets and asteroids in the nearest to the Earth point. As a result, the flow of comets and asteroids is directed toward our planet. The clash between these space objects with the Earth can lead to the death of all life on our planet, the website of the University of Louisiana.
Recall that the employees of the California Institute of Technology, said that there was the ninth planet in the solar system have suggested that the giant is about 20 times farther away from Earth than Neptune. Scientists believe that this planet is two to three times larger than the Earth but smaller than Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
