I suspect as our explorations go on another couple of planets may be discovered.

We're making more and more advances every day.

I'd note however, in the last few hundred years, there have been many calculations made pertaining to undiscovered planets. The 'best' instance would be those of Adams and Leverrier that led to the discovery of Neptune.

Unfortunately, despite a huge pile of mathematics, and a seeming score with Pluto, it turns out that case was actually spurious, Pluto is not sufficiently massive to have been noodled to exist via the maths. The Lowell Observatory had announced several possible locations for a ninth planet, so their assertions in regard to Pluto are somewhat diluted as a result, and then when the mass was determined, the Lowell Observatory predictions were all nulled out.

A really 'large' planet out there, and not in the plane of the ecliptic, is seemingly ruled out via dynamical effects not seen on the known planets, btw.

As for this 10 earth masser, Idunno. This prediction actually, to me, gets more plausible the further out it might be.

Hidden "Planet X" Could Orbit in Outer Solar System

Strong Evidence Suggests a Super Earth Lies beyond Pluto

Not the file listed above by me. 

inb4 Quran miraculously predicts our solar system has this many planets. Btw Pluto is planet.

HAHAH

I know right

I think it seems very plausible. It seems to be a good explanation for the odd gravitational fields for planets the article mentions, as well it makes a lot of sense that the reason we can't see it or have trouble seeing it would be because it is out very far and gets little sunlight, making it very very dark. Of course we will never know for sure, but I really hope they investigate further, I never believed in this(I'd heard about it a lot) until now. All I heard about this "Planet X" existing were youtube conspiracy-theory type videos. Incredibly the Youtube videos listed the exact same attributes that this scientist did(I.E Too dark to see, very far out, past pluto, etc.). 

Anyways, I don't think it's a reason for people to over react, however I don't think it's a reason for people to under react either, or brush aside as some nonsense conspiracy theory, because it seems very plausible and finally has some evidence to back it.

So does the bible

From the Book of Being Missing: 4:16

"And lo!  Another planet will be discovered beyond the orbit of Pluto, for God saideth there shall be nine planets, not eight and a midget!"

Yeah, as far as I'm concerned Pluto should get planet status back, if only for reasons of tradition.
