Those people are sure to be intrigued by the theories of two University of Louisiana-Lafayette professors, who believe that a massive, as-yet-undiscovered planet may exist within the solar system. The professors, Daniel Whitmire and John Matese, have dubbed the planet "Tyche," in honor of the Greek goddess who reigned over the fates of cities. In Greek, the word "tyche" means "fate" or "fortune." Whether the fate or fortune of Tyche turns out to mesh with the two scientists' beliefs remains to be seen. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ac/20110216/us_ac/7873826_planet_tyche_a_new_member_of_the_solar_system
