The Potential Existence of Planet Nine
1:06:14 - 1:14:29 (08:15)
Scientists theorize that an undiscovered Planet Nine in our solar system could cause anomalies in the orbits of other celestial bodies, such as Kuiper Belt Objects, and demonstrate flocking behavior. However, such anomalies do not align with traditional planet formation theories.

Planet Nine's gravitational effect produces an alternative population of small solar system bodies, such as Kuiper Belt objects that are heavily out of the solar system's plane and objects tilted by 90 degrees, that are not expected as an outcome of planet formation.

Summary
Planet Nine's gravitational effect produces an alternative population of small solar system bodies, such as Kuiper Belt objects that are heavily out of the solar system's plane and objects tilted by 90 degrees, that are not expected as an outcome of planet formation. However, if every single object in the solar system was seen, it would still look spherical.
