TALLAHASSEE (WTXL) - A ninth planet may have been discovered! According to researchers at the California Institute of Technology, it has a mass about 10 times the size of earth and is 20 times farther than Neptune. Here's the problem, this potential new planet hasn't been seen yet, but because of the movement pulling towards a central point in the distant Kuiper meteor belt, scientists think planet 9 must be out there.
