Do you want to stay up to date with the latest discoveries in our solar system, particularly when it comes to potential new planets? Are you eager to uncover the mysteries hidden in the depths of the Kuiper Belt? If so, we have the solution you've been searching for. In this episode, Fred and I will be revealing the key findings and ongoing search efforts for an elusive celestial body, which could potentially be a new planet in the Kuiper Belt. By diving into this topic, you will gain a profound understanding of the quest to unravel the secrets of our cosmic neighbourhood and get closer to unveiling the existence of an undiscovered planetary world. In this episode, you will be able to: · Venture into an exciting chapter of space exploration identifying the potential new planet in the Kuiper Belt. · Peek at the nearest supernova through the advanced and prestigious James Webb Space Telescope. · Embark on the intriguing search mission for Planet Nine, interpreting its cosmic significance. If you're living in rubbish, you don't get the guernsey. - Andrew Dunkley Exploration of potential new planet: Amidst the vast expanse of the Kuiper Belt, researchers have detected signals suggesting a new planetary object. This fascinating discovery stems from patterns found in the orbits of hitherto-known objects within the belt. If confirmed, this celestial body could either be classified as a dwarf planet like Pluto, or a full-fledged planet, provided it has cleared the debris in its orbit, shifting our perception of the solar system. The resources mentioned in this episode are: · Visit the website of the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) to learn more about their research on dwarf planets and the Kuiper Belt. · Check out the Astronomical Journal, one of the world's leading journals on astronomy, to read the study on the objects in the Kuiper Belt and their orbits. · Explore the Kuiper Belt and learn about the various objects within it, including dwarf planets, asteroids, and more. · Stay informed about the latest discoveries in astronomy by following news sources and publications that report on space exploration and research. · Keep an eye out for updates on the potential ninth planet and its discovery, as scientists continue to study the Kuiper Belt and search for its gravitational influence. · Consider becoming an amateur astronomer and join a community of stargazers who observe celestial objects like Jupiter and Saturn, potentially contributing to scientific discoveries. · Learn more about the James Webb Space Telescope and its capabilities in observing distant objects, including supernovae, by visiting its official website. · Stay updated on the latest news and findings from the James Webb Space Telescope, as it continues to provide new insights into the universe. · Explore the Large Magellanic Cloud and The key moments in this episode are:

Exploration of potential new planet: Amidst the vast expanse of the Kuiper Belt, researchers have detected signals suggesting a new planetary object. This fascinating discovery stems from patterns found in the orbits of hitherto-known objects within the belt. If confirmed, this celestial body could either be classified as a dwarf planet like Pluto, or a full-fledged planet, provided it has cleared the debris in its orbit, shifting our perception of the solar system. Nearest supernova insights: The recent observation of the closest supernova in modern history by the James Webb Space Telescope provides profound insights into these stellar explosions' nature. Investigating the remnants of these violent outbursts helps us better understand the universe's history and structure. Analysing high-resolution imaging from telescopes like the Webb offers unique opportunities to examine the remnants and aftereffects of these cosmic explosions in unprecedented detail. Hunt for Planet Nine: The enigmatic Planet Nine continues to elude astronomers. Currently, the search is centered around Extreme Trans-Neptunian Objects (ETNOs), deeply entrenched far beyond the sun's reach. The discovery of a new planet in the Kuiper Belt may modify our understanding of what constitutes Planet Nine and could stir up further interest in this intriguing celestial detective story. · www.spacenuts.io · https://www.twitter.com/spacenutspod · https://www.linkedin.com/in/biteszhq · https://www.youtube.com/@spacenutspodcast · https://www.facebook.com/spacenutspodcast
