"What we're seeing is an early prediction based on modeling from limited observations. It's the start of a process that could lead to an exciting result."

"there is debate in the scientific community about whether it exists."

"The Caltech scientists believe Planet X may have has a mass about 10 times that of Earth and be similar in size to Uranus or Neptune."

"Astronomers studying the Kuiper Belt have noticed some of the dwarf planets and other small, icy objects tend to follow orbits that cluster together."
