According to specialists, these satellite clouds have remained hidden for so long because they are extremely faint. However, due to the sun’s reflection, these dust clouds can appear briefly. During the study, scientists used advanced polarising filters on their cameras to detect dispersed light reflecting off individual particles within the dust clouds.

Despite the fact that Hungarian researchers have proven the existence of two extra moons orbiting the Earth, some space experts believe that these strange dust clouds are merely a passing occurrence. According to these critics, the massive dust clouds observed by astronomers participating in this study might be quickly swept away due to gravitational jostling from other planets or solar winds.

This is not the first time that fresh space studies have reshaped humanity’s knowledge of the solar system. Some astronomers hypothesize a few weeks ago that a rogue space planet, most likely Planet Nine, could be hiding beyond Neptune in the solar system. The researchers also showed that the space in which Planet Nine resides is too dark, which could explain why present observatories on Earth are having difficulty locating this space body.
