A MYSTERIOUS object once thought to be an undiscovered planet on the edge of our Solar System is in fact a tiny black hole, a study claims.
Experts have for years argued that a distant ninth world in our Solar System called Planet X orbits the Sun in a region well beyond Neptune.
Also known as Planet Nine, the idea was put forward in 2016 by astronomers to explain the wobbly orbits of distant objects.
According to them, the hypothetical world could have a mass about 10 times that of Earth and take up to 20,000 years to orbit the Sun.
However, a new study suggests Planet X isn't a planet at all.
Instead, a team of scientists led by Durham University claim it's a black hole about the size of a bowling ball. [ link to www.thesun.co.uk (secure)] Quoting: Q33 Maybe that's our sun's binary twin finally making its debut? A bowling ball? I didn't see that one coming...
