Michael Brown was the lead astronomer of the campaign that demoted Pluto from the ninth planet in our solar system in 2006. Now he is in the process of discovering a ninth planet that is many times the size of Earth.
Along with being an astronomer, Brown is also a professor of planetary astronomy at the California Institute of Technology. Brown and coworker Konstantin Batygin created a study in 2016 with the hypothesis of a ninth planet. This study has recently been revisited.
Their latest study of the planet has been updated with observations of objects and asteroid clusters.
The planet has not been seen yet but their search continues.
