So, as you might have heard from the numerous media reports which are not exaggerating one bit to what I can tell, planet nine has officially been found in the outer solar system- indirectly at least. you can find more about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planet_Nine I will spare all the details about it and get straight to the meat: It has not been directly detected. Many surveys are underway to detect it, including a number of large dedicated telescopes. I will toss my hat into this too, using my already extensive knowledge of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, as well as using data from 2MASS, WISE, DSS, and other surveys. I will post updates in chunks by RA and DEC to this blog. Expect many updates to follow. ~Sam Deen (Planetaryscience)
