The planet is 124 miles in diameter has just risen above the plane in our solar system and is 160,000 times fainter than Neptune. The thing with this planet however that has scientists baffled is the fact that the trajectory of the planet in accordance to the solar system is looping backwards at a tilt of 110 degrees. Scientists are theorizing the possibilities of the tilt of the planet, but it is still unknown and has many scientists confused and speculating. It also according to scientists does not qualify to a be a dwarf star like the rumored "Nemesis" that people have also been searching for in space, so this object in space still remains a mystery.
There were many rumors floating around that it could be the "Planet Nine" that scientists are trying to hunt for in space, but apparently the trajectory is wrong and Niku is not the hopeful Planet Nine that scientists were looking for. However Niku raises more questions, but as it allegedly orbits our sun, we may be seeing more of it as it orbits our sun and maybe there will be some answers put to the questions that scientists currently have about it.
