A NASA space telescope launched last year may soon detect such a stealth companion to our sun, if it actually exists, in the distant icy realm of the comet-birthing Oort cloud, which surrounds our solar system with billions of icy objects. http://news.yahoo.com/s/space/20101204/sc_space/giantstealthplanetmayexplainrainofcometsfromsolarsystemsedge Always something new to discover.

A planet one-to-four times the size of Jupiter floating around out there affecting things in strange and mysterious ways. And here we all felt so secure in our knowledge of our own solar system.
