Planet 9: An unsolved mystery- Mystery of Galaxy

Welcome to my blog "Mystery of Galaxy".  Today our topic is on a mysterious planet of our solar system "Planet 9".Astronomers believe there is a giant planet lurking in the outer solar system, and we're going to learn more about it starting right now. In 2016, astronomers Mike Brown and Konstantin Batygin at Caltech announced evidence of a giant planet in the distant outer solar system. In this article, we'd like to tell you about how they arrived at this claim and where we stand on the hunt for Planet 9. Now claims of new planets in our solar system are nothing new. In 1906, Percival Lowell believed that there was a giant planet that was disturbing the orbits of Uranus and Neptune. Lowell calculated that the planet must be at least the mass of Jupiter but perhaps even larger. He spent the last decade of his life searching for Planet X to no avail. When Clyde Tombaugh discovered Pluto in 1930. People thought that Lowell's giant planet was found. B...

This gas on atmosphere of Venus could be the sign of life outside of earth - Mystery of Galaxy

Possible sign of life on Venus Welcome to my blog "Mystery of Galaxy" . Today's topic is" Is phosphine the sign of life on Venus?"

The gas is phosphine, a toxic molecule with an odor of garlic and dead fish. Astronomers discovered the compound in a cloud layer where temperatures are fairly close to those on earth's surface. Phosphine is exciting because of where it comes from. On earth, it's either manufactured by humans, or it's a natural byproduct of life. It just doesn't show up anywhere else, and there's no human manufacturing on Venus. Phosphine is not sure fireproof there are alien microbes on t...
