Astronomers discover a "twin" planet to the mysterious, long-predicted Planet Nine

Astronomers have discovered a possible twin of the mysterious Planet Nine in the solar system.

It is 336 light-years from Earth. This was reported by "The Astronomical Journal".

The newly discovered planet is comparable in size to Jupiter and weighs 11 times more. The orbit of this object is extremely far from the star it orbits.

The distance of the exoplanet from its "own" star is 730 times the distance between the Earth and the Sun. This makes it very difficult to calculate the parameters of the distance orbit.

This invention will help scientists to prove the hypothesis of the ninth planet.
