Just last year two scientists from the United States
discovered a dwarf planet called 2012 VP113 in the Oort cloud and it was just
beyond our solar system. The discoverers say that its orbit is affected by the
promising occurrence of a dark and icy super-Earth, which could be up to ten
times greater than our planet.
