New Hypothesis Suggests Massive Planet Influenced Solar System’s Orbital Configuration
Recent research suggests that a massive planet, potentially larger than Jupiter, may have influenced the orbits of our Solar System’s planets during its formative years. This new hypothesis challenges existing theories of planetary migration, proposing that an external force could explain the peculiar orbital characteristics of gas giants. As scientists explore this theory, they aim to uncover the complex dynamics that have shaped our Solar System and others in the galaxy.
