Astro Brief: The Search for Planet Nine

Illustrated by Robert Murdaugh

Is there another planet to be discovered in our solar system?

Beyond Pluto, another distant planet of our sun may be out there. In a recent study of Extreme Transneptunian Objects (ETNOs) orbiting far beyond Neptune, more evidence has been found for the existence of the mystery planet.

Join us this week as Mike explores the mystery of Planet Nine.

Astro Brief is a collaboration between KSMU, the Missouri Space Grant, and MSU's Department of Physics, Astronomy and Materials Science. Hosted by Dr. Mike Reed, Astro Brief focuses on astronomical events, the field of astronomy, and astronomy-related guests. It airs Thursdays at 9:45 am on KSMU.
