Astrophysicists from several continents have expressed support for the hypothesis of the presence of a second planet similar to Earth. According to scientists, this planet belongs to the Solar System and is simply not visible from Earth. It, like a mirror, is hidden behind the Sun and other planets. To see it, spacecraft need to significantly distance themselves from Jupiter to observe what is happening beyond Neptune.
Mirror Planet – Vadim Shefner was right
How can we not recall the science fiction novel by the great writer Vadim Shefner, “The Debtor’s Shack”? Where the author suggests the existence of a mirror Earth-like planet, which is simply not visible due to the movement of other planets and the Sun. “Yalmez” is the name the author gives to this planet. In different languages around the world, it simply appears as the reverse reading of the word “Earth”.
In the context of the novel and the film based on Vadim Shefner’s “The Debtor’s Shack,” a very interesting plot unfolds. Where the mirror planet sends a time capsule, trying to get help from Earth’s inhabitants. Revealing the plot makes no sense, as the novel is worthy and very interesting. It’s better to read it or watch the series. By the way, the film is excellent – very famous Russian actors starred in it, demonstrating their professionalism to the audience.
Astrophysics Aspects and Imperfections in Planet Study
And what about spacecraft – you might ask. Yes, the Chinese, Americans, and Russians have sent a multitude of probes into space. But their routes run along the planetary chain. The task of the probes is to gather materials about unknown planets. No country has sent a probe to see all the planets from a different angle. And this shortcoming led to the hypothesis of the existence of a hidden planet.
All this looks implausible and intriguing. After all, at a considerable distance, the mirror planet “Earth” can easily hide behind Neptune. And for now, we can only guess whether there is a planet there or if the Solar System ends at Neptune.
Meanwhile, space Odyssey enthusiasts can get acquainted with the novel “The Debtor’s Shack,” which is unlikely to answer all their questions but can immerse the reader into the world of science fiction. Contributing to the life of every science fiction lover.
