An icy, unknown world might lurk in the distant reaches of our solar system beyond the orbit of Pluto, according to a new computer model. The hidden world — thought to be much bigger than Pluto based on the model — could explain unusual features of the Kuiper Belt, a region of space beyond Neptune littered with icy and rocky bodies. Its existence would satisfy the long-held hopes and hypotheses for a "Planet X" envisioned by scientists and sci-fi buffs alike.

steve468, I like this story. It's good stuff.
Not surprising that mainstream media casually report this without referance to the wider implications regarding the alleged "Planet X" 3600yrs oliptical orbit.
