Planet 9: The Race is On to Find It

We all know that there used to be 9 planets, that is, until our speaker's Caltech colleague killed Pluto a few years ago. But there may be hope for a new Planet 9. There are trans-Neptunian objects displaying phenomena that cannot be explained by interactions with our eight-planet Solar System alone.
