Oh, that naughty Planet X. Why can't we quit you? According to SPACE.com (via LiveScience), computer models are now predicting the existence of a hidden planet to explain some strange happenings in the Kuiper Belt.
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.
