A planet bigger than any in our solar system may be lurking in the darkness slowly getting close to our solar system again from a 15,000 year journey. Now what might this planet’s name is? Planet X or Planet Phattie which was discovered in 1906 by Percival Lowell in the Lowell observatory in Flagstaff Arizona. But some farther into the past, a mathematician Urban le Verrier in 1846 discovered Neptune since there were irregular patterns in Uranus’s orbit, and scientists think since new little patterns of random tugging at Uranus that’s when a new theory comes in about a 10th planet by Percival Lowell. 1930 they kept the project going found Pluto realized it was too small to be tugging at Uranus. But the voyager comes in with calculations that

But in 1990 researchers say that these comets looked odd and the mass quantities of oddball comets led them to believe a Planet as big as Jupiter and they also found a faint glow of a planet using many telescopes in Chile Argentina.
The plot thickens when they find Sedna’s strange long orbit may have pulled it into a more or so distant orbit this was discovered by Mike Brown 2003. In 2014 Mike Brown debunks Dwarf Stars causing these unusual orbits, that in fact it was this mystery Planet causing this major discrepancy. That’s when Brown teams up with Caltech, Batygin to help with making solar modules to figure out a pattern with the orbits of the objects to see why they were orbiting like this.
“Yet the allure of Planet X persisted. In the 1980s, for example, researchers proposed that an unseen brown dwarf star could cause periodic extinctions on Earth by triggering fusillades of comets. In the 1990s, scientists invoked a Jupiter-sized planet at the solar system’s edge to explain the origin of certain oddball comets. Just last month, researchers claimed to have detected the faint microwave glow of an outsized rocky planet some 300 AU away, using an array of telescope dishes in Chile called the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA). (Brown was one of many skeptics, noting that ALMA’s narrow field of view made the chances of finding such an object vanishingly
