For generations, humanity has mapped the edges of its cosmic neighborhood with imperfect instruments and incomplete assumptions. Now, two astronomers have returned to a stubborn mystery — the strangely ordered dance of icy bodies at the solar system's frontier — and found that the unseen force behind it may be hiding not in the far darkness, but in a region we simply forgot to look. The hypothetical Planet Nine, if it exists, may orbit closer to the Sun than anyone predicted, a humbling reminder that absence of evidence is not always evidence of absence.
