While we might consider ourselves advanced, having explored the eight planets and 200 moons in our Solar System, our understanding of the cosmos remains limited. A tantalizing possibility looms: there could be an additional planet lurking in our midst, known to scientists as Planet X or Planet 9. This elusive world might be concealed far beyond Neptune. Peculiarly altered orbits of asteroids and dwarf planets in this region have left scientists puzzled, and the hypothetical Planet X is a leading candidate for explaining these anomalies. The tale of this enigmatic planet traces back over a century to a man named Percival Lowell. With a profound passion for space and substantial wealth (lucky him!), Lowell constructed an observatory in Arizona. His focus? Studying the peculiar movements of Uranus and Neptune. These distant giants exhibit gravitational pulls slower than those of their planetary counterparts, almost suggesting the presence of a massive hidden object tugging them off their expected courses.
