🪐 Solar System lost planets and comets

Our Solar System is not what it always was, having evolved over 4.5 billion years. Scientists propose that at least one, and possibly two, Neptune-sized planets were lost during early gravitational shifts among Jupiter and Saturn. Trillions of icy objects from the Kuiper Belt and Oort cloud were scattered away by these giant planets. The hypothetical Planet Nine may have also been ejected into the system's outskirts during this turbulent time. Many smaller planets and countless comets are likely now orbiting other star systems. 🌌

This increased import demand stems from Ukrainian drone attacks severely disrupting Russian refinery operations. Moscow is expected to keep importing gasoline in the near term due to lower production yields. ⛽
