Exploring the Existence of a Mysterious Planet
Unveiling the Mystery: Recent astronomical discoveries have shed light on the potential existence of a mysterious planet lurking at the outskirts of our solar system. Konstantin Bogytin and his team of astronomers delved into a study focused on trans-Neptunian objects, which are celestial bodies located beyond Neptune and orbit the Sun at a distance far greater than that of Earth.
Traditionally, astronomers tend to overlook these objects in their quest for Planet Nine due to their interactions with Neptune’s orbit.
Bogytin, however, made a bold decision to concentrate specifically on these entities to gain deeper insights into their orbital dynamics. Through a series of simulations, they analyzed the influence of neighboring giant planets and the Galactic tide of the Milky Way on their trajectories.
The inclusion of Planet Nine in their model, a long-speculated yet unconfirmed planet in the outer realms of our solar system, emerged as the most plausible explanation for the observed behavior. While Bogytin acknowledges that other interpretations are feasible, this particular scenario stands out as the most compelling, offering the strongest statistical evidence supporting its potential existence.
Future Prospects and Technological Advancements
Once hailed as the ninth planet in our solar system, Pluto underwent a reclassification as a dwarf planet by the International Astronomical Union in 2006.
The astronomical community anticipates further revelations in the coming years. The Vera C. Rubin Observatory, currently being constructed in Chile, will utilize a cutting-edge 3.2 gigapixel camera equipped with a 5.1-foot-wide optical lens known as the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) to conduct a comprehensive scan of the celestial sphere. This ambitious endeavor aims to unravel additional enigmas of the cosmos, enhance our understanding of the most distant celestial bodies within our solar system, and potentially confirm the existence of Planet Nine.
Scheduled to commence operations in January 2025, the new observatory holds promise for groundbreaking discoveries in the realm of planetary science.
Bogytin and his research team have documented their findings in a paper titled “Generation of Low-Inclination, Neptune-Crossing TNOs by Planet Nine,” now accessible on the open-source repository arXiv.

Dark & Darker Mobile: A Review of Krafton’s Latest Game
[아이뉴스24 정진성 기자] “Gamebyeolsa” is a game review corner for gamers who don’t know what to play because countless games are released every day. We will tell you about games that have just been released or are worth recommending. [편집자]

Krafton conducted a preliminary play test for the media before a large-scale test of its “Dark & Darker Mobile” on the 24th.
‘Dark & Darker Mobile’ is a game in the mining genre that combines PvP and PvE and is characterized by the use of various elements, including the ‘survival’ of the battle royale genre, the ‘exploration’ of the dungeon genre crawler, and the role-playing game genre.
Since Krafton successfully brought its “Battleground” to the mobile platform via “Battleground Mobile”, this new game was also different in terms of optimization. Considering the fatigue in the mobile environment, each game took a quick breath and even within it I was able to experience the density of content. It was created so that you can experience farming, PvP and survival all in one match that lasts about 10 minutes.
The game basically aims to select one of five occupations, including Fighter, Barbarian, Thief, Ranger, and Cleric, enter the dungeon, kill monsters and other users, and farm items to escape. Each job can involve different skills and equipment, and it is also possible to add various passive and active skills depending on the level.

Comfort in battle was also notable. Footsteps around you are displayed in the form of footprints to help you quickly recognize enemies, and combat also supports aim correction to some extent to make this easier. The know-how from the mobile porting process of “Battleground” has been appropriately applied to “Dark & Darker Mobile”.
Furthermore, the barrier to entry into the genre has been lowered by introducing several elements, such as a “sponsorship” system that provides all the basic equipment and an “equipment conservation ticket” that allows you not to lose all your equipment even if you are eliminated from the game. In addition to the basic “Exploration” mode, various contents such as “Conquest” and “Duel” alleviate the boredom that comes with repeated gameplay.
In addition to solo play, the “mercenary system” also stands out – a device for group play. It is a system that allows group play even for users who are reluctant to match online groups and involves the recruitment of NPCs (non-player characters) by paying a certain fee. “Mercenary” has a high level of basic equipment, and the combat AI is not bad, so it was a great help in farming in the early stages.

Additionally, various role-playing elements such as equipment upgrades and the encyclopedia serve as motivation to continue playing. By farming equipment and reinforcement stones, you can create stronger equipment, which makes the battle easier.
However, the areas you can enter are divided based on equipment level, avoiding an environment where high-level users play with beginners and interfere with the rest. This is linked to the equipment sponsorship and retention system mentioned above and is expected to lower the barrier to entry and act as a factor leading to the influx of users.
In many ways, “Dark & Darker Mobile” lowers the barrier of entry to the extraction genre, while providing intense fun through fast-paced action. However, fatigue in the mobile environment, such as heat generation of devices and fatigue due to narrow screens, is still a problem that needs to be solved. The key is how Krafton, which has a lot of know-how in hosting e-sports through “Battleground Mobile,” will solve this problem.
