Planet 9 Opus 3, composed by Eduardo Marturet, is a groundbreaking composition that merges the realms of music and astronomical exploration. Inspired by the enigmatic celestial body known as Planet 9, the piece is a collaboration between renowned conductor Eduardo Marturet, the Miami Symphony Orchestra and G100 Visionary electric guitarist Konstantin Batygin.

Batygin, not only a great guitarist, but also an internationally reknowned astronomer, discovered Planet 9, adding an extra layer of significance to this musical endeavor.
