Planet Nine: scientists getting closer to finding a real 9th planetin our solar system!
Astronomers' findings point to a ninth planet, and it's not Pluto - LA Times
http://www.latimes.com/science/scien...120-story.html Scientists have been discovering a lot of dwarf planets and comets that seem all lie in a similar direction away from the solar system. This can't be just a coincidence, and scientists are now thinking that there may be a 9th massive planet orbiting on the opposite side of the Solar System, which is around 10x the mass of the Earth! It would be counterbalancing the mass of the solar system's dwarf planets. This would make the new planet a super-Earth or a mini-Neptune.
