23.8And thenthere werenineThe pasttwo decadeshave seenastronomers5catalogue of planets expandover twohundredtimes,as newtechniques andbetter telescopeshave foundmore than2,000of themorbitingstars otherthan the sun.But inthe solar system itself,the listofplanetshas actually（冥王星）shrunk,Pluto havingbeen downgradedfrom thatstatus in

2006.The numberof thesunsplanetary companionshas thusfallen fromnine toeight.Now,a pairof astronomersfrom theCalifornia Instituteof Technologythink they haveevidence thatwill restorethe sunsrecord toits previousvalue.Their analysisof objects（柯伊伯带）,（小行星）orbiting inthe Kuiper Belt aring offrozen asteroidsthat circlebeyond（）the orbitof Neptuneand ofwhich Plutois nowregarded asthe largestmember,suggests tothemthat somethingabout tentimes asmassive asEarth haschanged thoseorbits.If youknewwhere to look,this planet-sized objectwouldbevisible through a suitabletelescope.AndKonstanin Batygin and MichaelBrown believethey doknow.As theywrite inthe Astronomicaljournal,theyhaveanalyzed the orbits ofKuiper Beltobjectsand foundsix thatbehave ina peculiarway.As thediagram shows,the pointsof（近日点），closest approachof theseobjects to the sun,known astheir periheliaalmost（黄道）coincide.Moreover,these periheliaall lienear theecliptic™the planeof Earthsorbitand also,approximately,that ofthe otherplanets-while theobjects orbitsare allangled at30°below theecliptic.The chanceof allthis beinga coincidence,the tworesearchers estimate,is aboutseven in100,

000.If it isnota coincidence,it suggeststhe sixobjects havebeen guidedintotheir orbitsbythegravitational interventionof somethingmuch larger.A computeranalysis Dr Batygin and Dr Brownperformed suggeststhis somethingis aplanetweighing5-15times as much asEarth,whose perihelionis onthe oppositeside ofthesun fromthe cluster,and whichthus orbitsmainly onthe otherside ofthe solarsystem fromtheobjects itsorbit hasaffected.This planefsperihelion wouldbe200times fartherfromthesun thanEarths,and thefar endof itsorbit mightbe asmuchas sixtimes thatdistance away.This givesa searchzone,and DrBatyginand DrBrown areusing Subaru,a Japanesetelescope,to performthat search.Given otherdemands onSubarus time,it mighttake fiveyears forthis searchto findornot findthe hypotheticalplanet Butlooking atsome existingdata from.The WidefieldInfraredSurvey Explore,a satellite,might alsoshow it,if itis thereto beseen.Ironically,itwasDr Brownasmuchas anyonewho wasresponsible forPlutosdowngrading,for hediscovered Eris,an objectalmost asbig asPluto,in
