http://phys.org/news/2015-01-trans-nept ... solar.htmlThere could be at least two unknown planets hidden well beyond Pluto, whose gravitational influence determines the orbits and strange distribution of objects observed beyond Neptune. This has been revealed by numerical calculations made by researchers at the Complutense University of Madrid and the University of Cambridge. If confirmed, this hypothesis would revolutionise solar system models.

An astrobite on this research paper
Today's astrobite by David Wilson, a PhD student at the University of Warwick, explores this research Are There Two Missing Planets In The Solar System?
"In those rare moments of total quiet with a dark sky, I again feel the awe that struck me as a child. The feeling is utterly overwhelming as my mind races out across the stars. I feel peaceful and serene."
