Tyche Planet

Here I'll talk about the new planet called Tyche by scientists.
like of my mind, I'm sure you also want to know about Tyche. Is there Tyche in the universe?
First proposed in 1999 by astrophysicists John Matese, Patrick Whitman and Daniel Whitmire of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette about Tyche. The main reason the scientists who hypothesized Tyche think it may exist is because of a slight bias in the origin of comets from a region of the outer solar system. They hypothesize that this potential gas giant planet is perturbing a portion of the Oort cloud, causing this bias in the population of comets.

More recently Matese and Whitmire re-evaluated the comet data and noted that Tyche, if it exists, should be detectable in the archive of data that was collected by NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) telescope.
Data from the WISE telescope may give some clues as to the possible existence of Tyche, but the analysis of such data could take years.
