This is under research and unless there is visual confirmation, we don’t’ have a new planet. This has been observed beyond Neptune Known as Kuiper belt. The Kuiper belt is home to three officially recognized dwarf planets: Pluto, Haumea, and Makemake. Some of the Solar System's moons, such as Neptune's Triton and Saturn's Phoebe, are also thought to have originated in the region.
