If another planet is out there, this telescope could help find it
Briefly

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory, a new astronomical facility in Chile, aims to significantly enhance the search for a hypothesized Planet 9, which is believed to reside far beyond Neptune. With its instruments now being fine-tuned, the observatory is preparing for a 10-year mission to capture images of nearly the entire southern sky. This ambitious initiative could potentially unearth the faint and distant Planet 9, contributing to our understanding of celestial bodies in our solar system.
The NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory is set to begin its decade-long mission, potentially aiding the search for the elusive "Planet 9" beyond Neptune.
