What If We Discovered a New Planet in our Solar System?

How Likely Is This to Happen?


The good news is that this nightmare scenario is extremely rare. Scientists estimate the chance of a rogue planet entering our Solar System in the next thousand years is less than one in two trillion. That means we can sleep easy for now.

Still, the universe is full of surprises. Whether it is a mystery planet at the edge of our system or a wandering giant from deep space, the Solar System may yet have more stories to tell. Let us hope those stories do not begin with a strange new speck in the sky.
