There's a giant planet right here, hiding in our Solar System. One that nobody has ever seen, even while it is four times larger than Jupiter and has rings and moons orbiting it. At least, that's what two astrophysicists say.
The name of the planet is Tyche. The scientists are John Matese and Daniel Whitmire, from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. According to them, this colossus is hiding in the Oort Cloud--the asteroid beehive that forms the outer shell of our home system, one light-year in radius. They claim that data already captured by NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explore
Up telescope! Search begins for giant new planet
If you grew up thinking there were nine planets and were shocked when Pluto was demoted five years ago, get ready for another surprise. There may be nine after all, and Jupiter may not be the largest.
The hunt is on for a gas giant up to four times the mass of Jupiter thought to be lurking in the outer Oort Cloud, the most remote region of the solar system. The orbit of Tyche (pronounced ty-kee), would be 15,000 times farther from the Sun than the Earth's, and 375 times farther than Pluto's, which is why it hasn't been seen so far.

Isn't IV Mars?
Did you mean IX.
A correction on your correction!

This hidden planet actually sounds a lot like the, by scientists hypothesized, brown dwarf star named Nemisis, that's supposed to orbit the outer regions of our solar system (beyond the Oort cloud). A brown dwarf star could be the size of Jupiter or bigger.Some scientists hold this hypothesized dwarf star responsible for the mass extinctions on earth that seem to occur at an interval rate of about 26 to 30 million years, since they claim that every 26 to 30 million years this star's orbit nears Earth.

It may be a totally different thing but it`s pretty scary !
