Future missions could detect this elusive planet within the next decade. Astronomers like Michael Brown and Konstantin Batygin, who pioneered the search for Planet Nine, remain optimistic.

New calculations suggest that early Jupiter could have had as much as 2.5 times its volume today, say astronomers Konstantin Batygin from Caltech and Fred Adams of the University of Michigan.

The findings are also crucial for understanding planet formation elsewhere in the universe, said Fred C. Adams, an astrophysicist at the University of Michigan who wrote the study with Konstantin ...

"Our findings provide precise conditions that future models must match, placing strict constraints on when and how Jupiter formed," Konstantin Batygin, a professor of planetary science at the ...

The hypothesized planet’s orbit around the sun would likely take around 10,000 years, California Institute of Technology astronomers Mike Brown and Konstantin Batygin told Science.
