Astronomy show accidentally reveals unseen structure in our solar system
An accidental discovery might change how we think about one of the most mysterious structures in our solar system.
It's worth pointing out that it's theorized structure. It shows up in a simulation of a solar system population that has never been identified.
Yeah. A pattern in the data could just be a relic of the way the data has been collected or the limited time we have been collecting it. I remember an Anton Petrov video where he actually pointed to a swirl or mass of plotted data points in a representation of the solar system and cautioned against drawing conclusions for this very reason. Many of these objects are dim, very far out, and slow moving, while some of our best instruments for studying them are young. I'd wait for more data.
Really cool stuff. Makes sense, really
