TL;DR Summary

A new study suggests that there is a possibility of one or more planet-size bodies being captured in the Oort cloud, a vast collection of icy objects at the edge of our solar system. While the chances of a rogue planet from our own system being in the Oort cloud are about 0.5%, it is slightly more likely that a Neptune-like planet from another solar system was snagged by the sun's gravity and ended up there. However, it is also possible that the Oort cloud is composed of smaller icy objects, making it difficult to determine what exactly is lurking in the distant reaches of our solar system.
