The planet Vulcan, if it really had existed, would probably have been similar to Mercury (above) but quite a bit smaller. (NASA) The X-Planets Throughout the centuries astronomers have searched for new planets, often without success. Is there a 10th planet in our solar system still waiting to be found, or is looking for it simply a wild goose chase? On December 22, 1859, Urbain LeVerrier, of the Paris Observatory, opened a letter from a man named Lescarbault. As he read it, he felt a rush of excitement come over him. Lescarbault was a country doctor and amateur astronomer. According to the letter, on March 26th of that year, Lescarbault had observed a round black spot moving across the face of the sun in an upward-slanting path for one hour and a quarter. LeVerrier put the letter down. If what the doctor said was true, it might prove one of LeVerrier's predictions: that there was an unknown planet in the solar system. A planet that circled within the orbit of Mercury, which was then the closet known planet to the sun. This was not the first time LeVerrier had predicted the existence of an unknown planet. In 1781 the German-British astronomer William Heschel spotted a star that seemed to move from night to night. He soon realized it was a new planet, the first discovered since ancient times. The planet, which was located beyond Saturn, was given the classical name
