New Planet Found in Our Solar System?

The article, unsurprisingly, doesn’t exactly match the headline. The story isnlt that a new planet has been discovered, but that odd behavior of Kuiper Belt objects indicates that they are being gravitationally disturbed by a full-up planet. It could be a Mars-sized world on a highly elongated orbit, on up to a Neptune-sized world orbiting at 1,500 AU.
