I'm really curious as to the outcome around this. The idea that a new planet in our solar system is discovered in our lifetime is exciting to me for some reason. I can't even really explain the feeling.

Even though for most people the discovery will make no difference, they might not even care about it, which is a shame I think.

Have you heard of Ceres - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceres_(dwarf_planet) I learned of it recently and it was like learning of a new planet.
Yup, and if we do manage to prove it's existence we should keep the name "Planet 9".

And pretty please let the math on the star collision in 2022 be correct. I really want to see that.

Formerly known as Planet X, before the Pluto demotion kerfuffle.

But Plan 9, er Planet, is good, too.

Nah, let's call it something fun like Nibiru or Nemesis.
