Astronomers propose a new hypothetical planet, Planet Y, beyond Neptune, based on observed orbital anomalies in the Kuiper ...

A new study suggests the existence of Planet Y. This hidden planet may be affecting the Kuiper Belt. The gravity of Planet Y could be causing a tilt in the orbits of some icy objects. Researchers ...

Planet Nine was previously suggested as a possible explanation for distant orbital clustering. It was thought to be ten times Earth’s mass, orbiting far beyond Neptune.

Astronomers have picked up evidence of an Earth-sized world, distinct from the previously hypothesised Planet Nine and Planet ...

New discoveries of objects in the Kuiper Belt have also presented challenges for the Planet Nine theory. The latest is known ...

Recent research suggests a warp in the orbital plane of Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) between 80 and 400 AU, hinting at the ...

Another mystery is how Planet Nine, if it is real, ended up on an orbit that potentially brings it as close as 280 AU and as distant as 1,120 AU, which is far beyond the realm of the other planets.

Astronomers have a potential Planet Nine candidate, detected via infrared radiation. This candidate's orbit is very different from what's predicted for Planet Nine. The candidate may be a false ...

A team led by Amos Chen from the National Tsing Hua University, is searching for Planet Nine’s heat signature. When you double the distance from the sun, reflected light becomes 16 times fainter. This ...

If Planet 9 is real, this observatory has around a 70 to 80 percent chance of finding it, he estimates, adding that it's not a sure thing because there are so many uncertainties.
