New Planet - Posted for Hannah B



Astronomers believe they have found a new plated beyond Pluto (which is no longer a planet). The new planet is about the size of Neptune and orbits the sun about every 15,000 years. This planet was detected by computers based off its gravitational pull it has on the other things around it, but still has not been seen. For years they have been trying to figure out what has been the source of this gravitational pull beyond Pluto. They have figured out that the coincidence of the chances of the gravitational pull not being a planet is about one in 15,000, or 0.007% chance. If computers can detect something that we didn’t even think was a possibility what else are they capable of?
