And Planet X, if I recall, I think it's somewhere between about 400 times further from the Sun than Earth is. And then both these planets would, they'd have very little reflectivity of light, so you wouldn't get a lot of light from the back of Earth, and that would make them hard to spot, and that's simply because of their distance and the size of them too. And should it exist, Planet Y would also be tilted about 10 degrees compared with the orbital plane shared by all the rest of the planets in the solar system, and that's another factor that would make it harder to detect. It is now up in an area where we're not actually expecting it to be.
