Astronomers say a Neptune-sized planet lurks beyond Pluto

One telescope can help: Subaru, an 8-meter telescope in Hawaii that is owned by Japan. It has enough light-gathering area to detect such a faint object, coupled with a huge field of view—75 times larger than that of a Keck telescope. That allows astronomers to scan large swaths of the sky each night. Batygin and Brown are using Subaru to look for Planet X—and they are coordinating their efforts with their erstwhile competitors, Sheppard and Trujillo, who have also joined the hunt with Subaru. Brown says it will take about 5 years for the two teams to search most of the area where Planet X could be lurking.

Very cool video! This dark star would be huge, like the size of Jupiter-huge! Enough to affect us from long distances like our sun does. It just wouldn't be visible to us because it wouldn't give off visible light, only infrared. It would have a similar orbit to that of the video in your link.

I wonder if size would make a difference? Also, if this dark star and planet x are/could be the same thing or two different things entirely?
