Astronomers starting to believe there is a 10th planet in the Solar System

Neptune is the 8th
Pluto demoted
They suspect there is a 9th floating around
Now some believe there is 10th also

A planetary-mass object the size of Mars may be lurking in the outer solar system.

A planet-size object may be orbiting the sun in the icy reaches of the solar system beyond Pluto.
Scientists at the University of Arizona's Lunar and Planetary Laboratory (LPL) have determined that an unseen object with a mass somewhere between that of Earth and Mars could be lurking in the Kuiper Belt , a region beyond Neptune filled with thousands of icy asteroids, comets and dwarf planets.
In January 2016 , a separate group of scientists predicted the existence of a Neptune-size planet orbiting the sun far, far beyond Pluto — about 25 times farther from the sun than Pluto is. This hypothetical planet was dubbed "Planet Nine," so if both predictions are correct, one of these putative objects could be the solar system's 10th planet.

We should name the new one Pluto so the traditional lineup is right again.

Looks like an earth rip off. Get your own style, planet 10!

Momma told me Pluto was a planet.
Pluto is a planet.
Pluto is a planet.

It wouldn't surprise me, but in which case is it a planet or a very large Kuiper Belt Object?

how can we find earth like planets thousands of light years away but we don't know all the planets in our own solar system

There is some really cool shite about to go down. We're living in some amazing times.

We can observe the effects it has on the gravitational wobble of a star or the amount light dims when it passes in front of it. Looking outward from our sun trying to find a mass that emits no light and is so far out as to reflect very little from our sun can be difficult.

We are doing pretty good, but I sometimes feel like we are living just before the super amazing stuff that will happen. Time will tell.

How about we stick with the original 9 and leave it at that.
