The Oort Cloud is a cloudy structure that, according to scientists, surrounds the Solar System<\/a> and acts as the outer boundary of the Sun’s gravitational influence in the Milky Way.<\/p>\n\n\n

The cloudy structure primarily consists of icy remnants that fuel the Solar System with their long-period comets<\/a>, but it could also potentially harbor an as-yet-unknown giant planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speculations about a hypothetical ninth planet (sorry, Pluto) in the Solar System have long focused on Planet X, but a recently published study suggests that an unknown and large-sized planet could be lurking<\/strong> far beyond the standard planetary orbits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A ninth planet after the departure of Pluto<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This planet, similar to Uranus or Jupiter, would orbit not just the Sun, but also the entire Solar System within the Oort Cloud, residing at the outermost boundary of the Sun’s gravitational attraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the study, these theoretical (exo)planets in the Oort Cloud could be a standard feature of about one in every 200 to 3,000 stars<\/strong>, although this estimate is likely an overestimation as the researchers did not take into account the instabilities that occur during star and planetary disk formation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
