TL;DR Summary

A recent study in The Astronomical Journal aimed to narrow down the potential location of the elusive Planet Nine, a hypothetical planet in the outer solar system. Using data from Pan-STARRS, researchers eliminated 78% of possible locations and provided new estimates for its size. While Planet Nine remains undiscovered, the study significantly narrowed the search area, with follow-up studies planned using the LSST. Finding Planet Nine would provide valuable insights into our solar system and its formation, and could potentially explain various unexplainable phenomena in the outer solar system.
