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 ...

For years, astronomers have searched for evidence of a hidden giant planet at the edge of our solar system. New data suggests ...

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

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.

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

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

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.

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 ...

U.S. astronomers hunting for "Planet Nine" have instead stumbled on what appears to be a new dwarf planet in the solar system's outer reaches.

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 ...

Planet Nine should be detectable by that telescope. But it would require an adjustment in the planned observing protocol to extend the telescope’s survey farther north than planned, Brown says ...
