Vulcan is a planet that is closer to the sun than Mercury. There isn’t any scientific evidence for it, but H. P. Blavatsky mentions it in The Secret Doctrine. Astrologers have named it. Some modern astronomers believed that it existed and were trying to determine its orbit, which is so close to the sun that it is extremely difficult to trace.[1]

- ↑ Speculation about a planet closer to the sun than Mercury dates back to the 17th century, and a number of astronomers claimed to have observed such a planet. Support for the existence of such a planet grew in the 19th century when astronomers observed anomalies in the orbit of the planet Mercury. However, Einstein's 1915 theory of general relativity explained the anomalies in orbit of Mercury.
