“ Evidence he and others have gathered over the past decade suggests something strange is happening in the outer solar system: distant subplanetary objects are being found on orbits that look sculpted, arranged by an unseen gravitational force.”<p>Does anyone know what they mean by “sculpted orbits”?
The most thorough explanation of what is going on here.<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-J6gW_w_Hs" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-J6gW_w_Hs</a><p>old, but the speaker is credited as an author of most recent papers on the subject
Paywalled.<p>Neil deGrasse Tyson claimed that several telescopes contributed to the dataset of orbits that lead to the conclusion of an 9th planet is impacting orbits.<p>He also claimed there was a misalignment of one of the telescopes and that if that data is removed there's no more mystery and everything works out.<p>Other theories claim that a passing star in "recent" times might have kicked things into unusual orbits and left, leading signs of it passing.<p>My favorite theory is a small black hole out there, in one of the papers it was in a diagram showing a 1:1 size of the event horizon.
