NEW research claims five additional rocky planets might exist on the edge of our Photo voltaic System.
Based on a simulation, it's attainable a number of rogue planets are close by and we just haven't spotted them yet.
A rogue planet is a time period used to explain a planet that isn't orbiting a star.
Based on Live Science, Nasa's James Webb Area Telescope has already recognized a whole lot of those.
A rogue planet has never been found in our Photo voltaic System but some researchers assume it's attainable that we'll discover one.
This risk is revealed in a research revealed in Astrophysical Journal Letters.
The research states that "free-floating planets with mass strictly larger than that of Mars might exist within the outer photo voltaic system."
Research writer and doctoral candidate Amir Siraj proposed that the Sun might have lured rocky rogue planets our means.
He used fashions and equations related to previously noticed rogue planets to work out how many might be hiding in our Solar System.
A total of 100 million simulations have been carried out because of particular software program.
From this knowledge, it was concluded that two planets with a Mars-like mass might exist within the Photo voltaic System.
Alternatively, three to five planets with a mass like Mercury might be present.
Siraj isn't alone in considering there are additional planets in our eight planet Photo voltaic System.
There are scientists who consider there's a mysterious Planet X lurking in the Kuiper Belt.
The Kuiper Belt is a region behind Pluto that encompasses a vast amount of icy objects.
Even Nasa has acknowledged the hypothetical Planet X.
The US area agency says on its web site: "Caltech researchers have discovered mathematical evidence suggesting there could also be a "Planet X" deep within the solar system.
"This hypothetical Neptune-sized planet orbits our Sun in a extremely elongated orbit far past Pluto."
It's thought Planet X might have a mass that's 10 occasions that of Earth.
