EDUKATIF | The outer solar system still has many minor planets yet discovered. Since the search for Planet X began in the early 20th century, the possibility of a hypothetical planet orbiting the sun behind the Kuiper Belt have been burned Doomsday theories and speculation that Planet X is actually a brother of our sun that has long been "lost".
But why worry ahead to Planet X / Theory of Apocalypse is this? Planet X is nothing but a hypothetical object that is not known?
These theories also encouraged by the Mayan prophecies of the world will end in 2012 (Mayan Prophecy) and mythical stories about the Sumerians Nibiru Planet, and finally heating up now as a "prophecy of Resurrection" December 21, 2012. However, astronomical evidence used for these theories completely off the mark.
On June 18 last, Japanese researchers announced news that their theoretical results for a large mass outside our solar system has resulted. From their calculations, there may be a planet slightly larger than an object plutoid or dwarf planet, but certainly smaller than Earth, which orbits the Sun at a distance of more than 100 SA. But before we get carried away on this discovery, the planet Nibiru is not, nor evidence of this world will end in 2012. This discovery is the discovery of new and exciting developments in the search for minor planets, Kuiper Belt beyond.
In the theoretical simulation, two Japanese researchers have concluded that the outermost parts of our solar system may contain an undiscovered planet. Patryk Lykawa and Tadashi Mukai of Kobe University have published their paper in the Astrophysical Journal that describes the minor planets, which they believe to interact with the mysterious Kuiper Belt that.
Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOS)
Kuiper Belt occupies a vast territory in our Solar System, approximately 30-50 SA from the Sun, and contains a large number of objects and metallic rock. The largest known object is the dwarf planet (plutoid) Eris. Has long been known that the Kuiper Belt has a strange characteristic, which may indicate the presence of an object (planet) orbiting the Sun a large Kuiper Belt beyond. Karakterikstik one is called the "Kuiper Cliff" or gap Kuiper found at a distance of 50 SA. This is the end of the Kuiper Belt suddenly, and very little Kuiper belt objects that have been observed beyond this point. This gap can not be linked to the orbital resonance with massive planets such as Neptune, and apparently not in error (error) observations. Many astronomers believe that the end of a sudden in the Kuiper Belt population may be caused by an undiscovered planet, which may be of the Earth. This object is believed to have Lykawka and Mukai their presence into account.
Japanese researchers are predicting a large object, whose mass is 30-70% of the mass of Earth, orbiting the Sun at a distance of 100-200 SA. These objects may also help explain why some of Kuiper Belt objects and Trans-Neptunian object (TNO) has some odd orbital characteristics, such as Sedna.
Since the discovery of Pluto in 1930, astronomers have been looking for other objects more massive, which could explain the observed orbital disturbances in the orbit of Neptune and Uranus. This search is known as "Search Planet X", which translates literally as "the search for planets that have not been identified". In the 1980s the orbital disturbance is regarded as an error (error) observations. Therefore, the scientific search for Planet X would be today is the search for Kuiper Belt objects are large or minor planet searches. Although Planet X may not be for the mass of Earth, the researchers will still be interested to look for objects other Kuiper, a possible size plutoid, maybe a little bigger, but not too large.
"The interesting thing for me is the suggestion of the kinds of very interesting objects that may yet await discovery in the outer solar system. We are still scratching the edges of that region of the solar system, and I expect many surprises await us with the future deeper surveys. "- Mark Sykes, director of the Planetary Science Institute (PSI) in Arizona.
Planet X is not scary
So where Nibiru is coming from? In 1976 a controversial book called "The Twelfth Planet" or "Twelfth Planet" was written by Zecharian Sitchin. Sitchin has translated the writings of ancient Sumerian wedge-shaped (known form of writing most ancient). 6000-year-old writings reveal that an alien race known as the Anunnaki from the planet called Nibiru, landed on Earth. Brief stories, modify the genes of primates Anunnaki on Earth to create homo sapiens as a slave to them.
When the Anunnaki left Earth, they let us rule this earth until the time they return. All this may seem a bit fantastic, and maybe also a little too detailed when considering all of this is the literal translation of ancient writings 6000 years old. Sitchin job has been ignored by the scientific community as the method of interpretation are considered imaginative. Nonetheless, many are listening Sitchin, and believed that Nibiru (with a very eccentric orbit around the Sun in) will return, probably in 2012 for causing all the destruction and terror-terror on Earth. From the "discovery" is dubious astronomical hypotheses 2012 Doomsday Planet X is based. Then, how Planet X is considered as the embodiment of Nibiru?
Then there is also "the discovery of brown dwarfs outside our solar system" of IRAS in 1984 and the "NASA announcement will be planetary mass of 4-8 Earth masses are to Earth" in 1933. Advocates of this hypothesis depends on the end of astronomical discoveries as proof that Nibiru Planet X is actually a long-sought astronomers during this century. Not only that, by manipulating the facts about scientific research, they "prove" that Nibiru was heading our (Earth), and in 2012, this massive object will enter the inside of our Solar System, causing gravitational disturbances.
In its purest definition, Planet X is the unknown planet, which theoretically might orbit the Sun far beyond the Kuiper Belt. If the discovery a few days ago it finally led to the observation of a planet or a plutoid, then this will be a wonderful invention that helps us understand the evolution and characteristics of the mysterious outer parts of our Solar System.
