1. Added Planet Nine

You may have heard the recent news regarding the discovery of a new planet of the Solar System.

In short, Planet Nine is a hypothetical large planet in the far outer Solar System, with an estimated mass of about 10 times that of Earth, a diameter two to four times larger than that of Earth, and a highly elliptical orbit so far away that it could take it 15,000 years to orbit the Sun.

The news caused huge excitement in astronomy enthusiast community. We couldn’t resist adding it to Solar Walk 2.

We reached out to the authors of this discovery, Mr. Konstantin Batygin and Mr. Michael E. Brown of Caltech, who said they used and loved Solar Walk and were happy to help.

In Solar Walk 2, Planet Nine is for the first time features in the Solar System. It has the most accurate estimated trajectory to date, and all important facts and figures, such as mass, radius, distance from the Sun,etc.
