Case File 160-Planet X

Thanks for following us over to Spotify! We appreciate it. While we are with Spotify, Afterhours will be included with the regular Case Files In 1906 an American astronomer, by the name of Percival Lowell, began his search for a planet beyond Neptune. Based on calculations from the believed irregularities in the orbits of Uranus and Neptune, Lowell and his team pursued the possible trans-Neptunian planet that he was convinced lurked on the edge of our solar system.  Unfortunately, Lowell would die before he was able to discover the object of his search was the dwarf planet known as Pluto. In recent years the possibility of another orbiting body has been raised by groups of scientists around the world. Some astronomers believe this object, that could possibly be as large as Neptune, may be orbiting through the Kuiper Belt where the leftovers of our solar system's formation lay. The existence of this shadowy planet is not doubted by those who believe that we will be able to observe it moving through our sky as it will one day pass close enough to Earth to trigger a global cataclysm.
