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 ...

Scientists think there may be a ninth planet hiding in the distant reaches of the solar system — and a new telescope could finally prove its existence. | Credit: Nicholas Forder for Live Science Deep ...

A leading scientist has told Newsweek about new evidence supporting the existence of a secret ninth planet lurking at the edge of our solar system. This hypothetical extra planet, often referred to as ...

It's an evocative idea that has long bedeviled scientists: a huge and mysterious planet is lurking in the darkness at the edge of our solar system, evading all our efforts to spot it. Some astronomers ...

A possible new dwarf planet has been discovered at the edge of our solar system, so far-flung that it takes around 25,000 years to complete one orbit around the sun. The object, known as 2017 OF201, ...

Some experts believe that the solar system's hypothetical ninth planet could be just a few years away from being discovered. If this is the case, how long would it take for humans to send probes to ...

There has been a lot of back and forth about the existence of a mysterious ninth planet, often referred to as "Planet Nine" or even "Planet X." Now, though, researchers say there is likely at least a ...

After studying thousands of computer simulations of the solar system, researchers at Rice University and the Planetary Science Institute think there’s a 40% chance an elusive “Planet Nine” or “Planet ...

Earlier this year scientists presented evidence for Planet Nine, a Neptune-mass planet in an elliptical orbit 10 times farther from our Sun than Pluto. Since then theorists have puzzled over how this ...

Astronomers have been scouring the outer solar system for signs of a hypothetical ninth planet for almost a decade, without success. However, we may finally be on the cusp of finding it, experts say.
