Mysterious Earth-Like Planet Hiding In The Solar System, Says Study

According to scientists, the possibility exists that an Earth-like planet may be concealed within the Kuiper Belt.

The search for Earth-like planets is a fundamental aspect of astronomy and planetary science. Scientists are highly motivated to find such planets because they could potentially possess conditions conducive to supporting life. Moreover, the discovery of Earth-like planets offers valuable insights into the possibility of habitable environments beyond our home planet.

The consistent effort of the scientists seems to be turning fruitful, as astronomers have recently uncovered promising indications of a planet similar to Earth within our solar system, potentially located in an orbit beyond Neptune around the Sun.

These findings are the result of a study conducted by Patryk Sofia Lykawka of Kindai University in Osaka, Japan, and Takashi Ito of the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan in Tokyo.
