I haven't been keeping up on this topic. It's very exciting. If I'm understanding what I've read, this is the furthest of the "dwarf planets" which lie well beyond Pluto. There is a hypothesis that another planet (Planet 9) larger than the earth is out there as well. Planet 9 is what they believe explains some orbital peculiarities shared by these dwarf planets? Is the Planet 9 thought to be even further out than "Farout?"
