[quote:Anonymous Coward 34818685:MV8yMTQ2MjgxXzM2MjYxNTQyXzlGQjJFMUUx] They've been saying this for decades. Planet X and all that. Of course, it could be "dark matter" or some other nonsense that they make up to fill the holes in their theories. [/quote]

"What's intriguing, Gomes said, is that, according to his new calculations, about a half dozen Kuiper belt objects—including the remote body known as Sedna—are in strange orbits compared to where they should be, based on existing solar system models."
"Based on his calculations, Gomes thinks a Neptune-size world, about four times bigger than Earth, orbiting 140 billion miles (225 billion kilometers) away from the sun—about 1,500 times farther than Earth—would do the trick."
