NEff PLANET ,
DISCOVERED
BY SCIENCE
Ninth Member of Solar
System is Between Nep
tune and Uranius.
probablTlarger
than the earth
Discovery is Hailed as one
of Most Important in
Astronomy Since Find
ing of Neptune.
CAMIIHIDGE, Jfass., srar. 13
(AP) ProrosHor Harlow Slianley,
director of tile Harvard Observa
torjr, today aniiouitocd receipt of
wool from tlio Xjowd ObservatoiT
at Flagstaff, Arte., of tlio duicovery
llioro of tho ninth planet of tlio
Solar system. Tlio planet, as yet
mummed, la beyond Neptune, and
Is probably larger tlian tlio earth
but smaller tluin Uruidus.
Dr. Slmpley hailed the dlscovei-y
as 0110 ot the most Important in
astronomy slnco that of Neptuno in
1840.
Tho yoars of research which led
to tho doflnite determination of tho
existence of a trans-Nentunn lm.iv
have confirmed the bollef of the
luto Perclvul Lowell, brother of
President1 A- Lawrenco . Lowoll of
Harvard, that such a planet existed,
Dr. Shupley said.
I Tho telegram which was rocolved
by the observatory this morning
road: . .. . .
I "Systomntlc research begun years
. ngo, supploniontlnB Lowell's lnvos
j tlgatlon for b. trajis-Neptunlan
I planet, hus reveulcd an object
I which for sevon woeks has In ratn
of motion and path consistently
I conformed to li'atra-Noptuntun body
; at tho upproxlmnle distance he un
signed. Fifteenth magnitude. Posi
tion March 21 at throe hour
Clroenwloh mean time was sevon
seven, seconds of time west from
Delia Geminnrumv agreolng with
Lowell's prodletod longitudq."
Dr. Shaiioly said tho distance ot
tho new planet beyond Neptuno
had not been definitely computet
and neither had its Orbit been cal
culated, as facias he know.
Tho known planets until today,'
were, 'jh-'orcler lef 'tliair -dtnofl
from the sun, Moroury, Venus, the
oarth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uraii
ub and Neptuno, '- . ..
Morcui-y is only 28,660.000 miles
from the sun at its nearest ap
proach, while Neptune Is calculated
to bo 2,709,000,000,000 miles away.
Noptuno's passage around ths
sun requires 1GG years,
I Neptuno Discovery Similar
j Nopttino was dlucovored mathe
matically much In the same way
thut tlie oxlstenco of the new planot
was first surmlsod becauso of uor
tnin peculiarities In tho. orbit of
Noptuno. Lowell's observations of
tho phenomena led him to deduce
tlie existence of another planet bo
,yond Neptune. '
Like Neptune, the new body Is
Invislblo to tho naked cyo.
