    His calculations suggested the body would be on a much greater tilt than the solar system’s plane and would orbit in a different direction from the known planets.

    So almost certainly not a planet. But it sounds like it’s something.

        Yep, but it hasn’t been observed in our star system and everything we have observed so far implies it to be very unlikely. It would be very exciting if it were so; it’d immediately become my new fav planet.
