The Fate of the Fifth Giant: A Two Year Orbital Mechanics Analysis of a Fifth Giant Planet
CSEF · 2026 Physics & Astronomy (Junior Division)
Overview
The project aims to prove the hypothesis that the Fifth Giant and Planet Nine are the same planet. It will focus on the math behind the ejection of the Fifth Giant. The data from the project are compared with the data from Planet Nine to see whether they match, attempting to prove the hypothesis true.
