Mysterious Giant Sized Planets

Why comet entered the solar system? Possibly because there is a mysterious planetthat giant size.

Through a study, the research team of NASA Ames Research Center explained that theentry of the comet into the solar system giant planets probably because there is a sizebigger than Jupiter. This giant planets outside the solar system and has never beenknown to exist.

The research team presented their findings at the American Astronomical Society meeting in Boston. Based on the data, according to them the simplest explanation of theentry of comets into our solar system in the form of an ellipse, possibly because there isa large object orbiting in the outer solar system. The object of this could be a giantplanet around a quarter of light-years away.

But this is only a possibility, because the characteristics of the planet itself is not yet known. The existence of other planets outside the solar system can be identified bytelescope Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), which NASA launched in 2009.
