Is there an alien planet hiding at the edge of our solar system ?

[UM-Bot]

Astronomers believe that there is a small chance that a rogue planet could have been 'captured' by the Sun's gravity.

@AlphaGeek I'm aware of the arguments both for and against the existence of Planet X. My comment was aimed specifically at Unadan's comment explicitly stating that the planet does not exist. Such a comment is extremely unscientific. In science it is very difficult, and sometimes impossible, to prove the non-existence of something. The best that can be achieved is to say that the data does not support the existence of said object. As Carl Sagan said, "Absence of Evidence does not mean Evidence of Absence".

In the case of planet X we are not even at the stage of saying that the data does not support the existence of the planet, the data is inconclusive and so, therefore, to claim, definitively, that it doesn't exist is no more than a wild guess.

My bad Waspie.
