This planet between Mars and Jupiter could end life on Earth

As the understanding of the Solar System continues to improve, more and more research is pouring into the formation and evolution of our home system, where eight planets revolve around the Sun. Researchers in a study found that a Super-Earth between Mars and Jupiter would push Earth out of the solar system and wipe out all life on the planet. Super-Earths are planets that are more massive than Earth but lighter than ice giants like Neptune and Uranus.
