This week, in The Astronomical Journal, astronomer Mike Brown and planetary scientist Konstantin Batygin published what may be a map to the hypothetical planet.

Konstantin Batygin was the winner of the Loren Steck Award during this year's Student Achievement Awards Ceremony. See story. Some of the greatest minds in the history of science have investigated the ...

Together, the odd orbits of Niku and Drac raise questions about what may have sent them spinning out of step millennia ago. Konstantin Batygin, a professor of planetary science at the California ...

Corresponding with the three-year anniversary of their announcement hypothesizing the existence of a ninth planet in the solar system, Caltech's Mike Brown and Konstantin Batygin are publishing a ...

Astronomer Konstantin Batygin returns with evidence that Niku’s orbit was influenced by Planet Nine.

The primitive version of the gas giant could have held some 8,000 Earths within it, said Konstantin Batygin, lead author of the new study.

It’s been over two years since Caltech astronomers Mike Brown and Konstantin Batygin made an explosive claim: based on the orbital motion of objects in the Kuiper Belt—a region beyond Neptune ...

Chastised for "killing Pluto," Caltech's Mike Brown teamed up with rocker/math genius Konstantin Batygin to find a replacement for the dwarf planet.
