Scientific paper
It is proposed that the systematic residuals in the positions of Uranus and Neptune may be due to an unknown planet: Planet X. Using the weighted-least-squares method, the orbit and mass of Planet X were computed from the residuals of Uranus. It is concluded that, if it exists, Planet X will be the tenth planet. However, it may not be the tenth from the sun since the computed semimajor axis is a little less than Pluto's. Planet X's perihelion, like Pluto's, is inside the orbit of Neptune.
