The Research of Ben Bromley, a physics and astronomy professor, was published in a California Institute of Technology’s paper. The research speculates the possibility of the existence of an isolated planet that orbits the sun on an elongated path, with the planet likely to be thousands of times bigger than Pluto. Though this is not the first time that the possibility of another planet has been brought up, his study has increased the standards of the evidence that a large ’Planet X’ does exist somewhere in a distant location of the solar system.

Two cases were described by Bromley and Scott Kenyon from the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory a few years back. First case is that the planet might have got created from the already exiting material and a planet like this is has a tendency to have a circular orbit. The second case is that one of the gas giants might have once deflected a large planet from the inner solar system. This case has received support from Caltech's Konstantin Batygin and an astronomer, Mike Brown. Brown reveals his expectations of the new planet being discovered within the coming five-year period. However, Utah astronomer and NASA ambassador Patrick Wiggins has reminded that only the evidence of such a planet has been found and the planet still remains undiscovered.

The evidence has been gathered through mathematical calculations and computer simulations that suggest that this planet might be the most planet-y one owing to its intense gravitational power. The so called Planet X has been estimated to be approximately 1,200 times more far off from the sun as compared to the distance of Neptune and also it would tale around 20,000 years to complete its one orbit around the sun. “We're talking, like, 200 times further away than the outermost planet now, Neptune”, said Wiggins. He added that we do not possess a big enough telescope that can capture sufficient light from the planet to take its picture.
