NASA Made 'Impossible' Discovery Of New Planet In Our Solar System

Did you know that there is a planet between Mars and Jupiter? Astronomers believed that there might be a planet "missing" between Jupiter and Mars' orbits after studying the planets' trajectories. What led to its formation? Did NASA really find the lost planet? Let's find out!

Real Title: Nasa speculates that the asteroid belt was once a planet.

If Ceres qualifies as a dwarf planet...that means that our moon is also technically a dwarf planet as well.

Pluto is still a Planet to me, always interesting to watch & thanks for sharing 👍

I'm always having a discussion with someone about how much cooler it would have been if we had learned our 8 regular planets, and then 4 or 5 of out dwarf planets as well, like Pluto, Ceres, Sedna, Eris, and Makemake to name a few. This concept of not only a mainline list of planets, but also an irregular lineup of dwarf planets would have made space science would show just how much variety there is in our own cosmic backyard.

Why is it this channel always has a title that misleads people. We have seen this all before

Could be a chance that if Mars gets a human colony some space mining could be done by sending metal ore and water asteroids to crash on Mars surface. Could be an easy way to get water iron and other metals for use on Mars.

Mercury is said to be more like the remnant core of a larger planet that is no more than that it was always like it is. If the planets all migrated around a bit, some more than others, according to the grand tack theory I am wondering if it is possible that the asteroid belt is actually the blown off mantle and crust of whatever Mercury was originally, it just all settled in different areas?

Someday in the future, asteroids will be a most considerable metal source.

Simply no, the asteroid belt has less mass in it then the moon, and the reason it hasn't formed into a singular mass is because of the title forces from Jupiter, it causes the region to be gravitational unstable

The rest of the 'missing planet' is our moon. It (Theia) slammed into Earth and bounced off, forming the moon. Other moons could also be parts of it. You didn't get into mythology - the pantheon of major gods in Greek Mythos number twelve, and each is named after a heavenly body. This means after you count the Sun and Moon, that leaves ten planets. The planet 'Vulcan' is missing.

The asteroids could be used to add mass to Mars for terraforming

Wait a second....william herschel discovered Uranus?? its actually the herschel highway??🤪🤪🤪🤪

If there is a planet within the realms of the asteroid belt, then given Pluto's demotion, it shouldn't be considered a planet either.

[Healitnow]

This is nothing new. We were fully aware of this in the 1960's. The general thought back then was that the gravity of the planet Jupiter tore it apart. This may not be true but does show we were aware of a planet in this area at one time.

[bernardtimmer]

It isn't just that the total mass of all the bodies in the astroid belt doesn't come close to the amount needed to have once been a planet or could merge to one; the main problem is that we don't exactly know how many planets actually did form in the past were ejected from the solar system when the orbits weren't stable.

[randyclark]

If you take the Titus’s-bode law. It goes - Venus is twice as far from the sun as Mercury. Mars is twice as far as Venus. The asteroid belt is twice as Mars. Jupiter is twice as Mars. Saturn is twice as Jupiter. Uranus is twice as Saturn. Neptune is twice as Uranus. The 2 discrepancies is the asteroid belt and Earth. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to put 2 and 2 together.

Guess it wasn't an impossible discovery afterall

[kaseyboles]

Actually when I was pretty young I so wanted to be an astronomer that I just flat out learned the planet names and places and such without mnemonics. I did learn one later to tell others, but I honestly don't recall it lol. Of course I later learned astronomers often spend hours out in the cold up high in thin air to make observations and being rather against being cold switched to astronaut for a few years before discovering computers in the very early 80's.

Planet 9 is Pluto! Then there is Planets 10, 11, and 12 in the Kepler Belt. We know this from Babylon, India, and Mayan Cosmology on the Sol System. 🌞

[SpideyVids]

Anyone who's done any research already knows that the planet was called Tiamat and Mars was its moon. When it was destroyed the remainder of Tiamat was shunted much closer to the sun and formed Earth.
