Scientists spotted the potential planet by seeing the
disturbances that it is causing in the gravitational field of the far solar
system. There appears to be a great perturber upsetting the movement of other
objects in that far away region. Konstantin Batygin and Micheal E. Brown, the
researchers at the California Institute of Technology claimed it as a possible
ninth planet and their research papers were published in The Astronomical
Journalon 20 January 2016 with the title ‘Evidence for a distant Giant Planet
in the Solar System.‘ As for their study, The Planet is surrounded by much
brighter lights even the distant Pluto could be about 10000 times brighter. So,
they opined that the planet might have made its way out to the edge of the
solar system when it was thrown out there by the gravity of Jupiter or Saturn.
