Scientists at Cal Tech have announced the discovery of a ninth planet in our solar system. They describe it has being about ten times as big as Earth and about twenty times further from the Sun.
They haven't actually seen it - nobody has - but they say the movement if several objects in the Kuiper Belt shows that they are orbiting something, and the math gives them the size and mass of what they are calling Planet 9.
I guess that makes sense, but those blobs of ice they can see are much smaller than the "Planet" that they can't. This evidence of things unseen sounds a lot more like religion than science.
