What If Planet X Was Real?
15,661Over the past century, astronomers have speculated about the existence of a mysterious 9th planet lurking in the outer reaches of our Solar System.

"Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it, we go nowhere." — Carl Sagan
"What If" takes you on an imaginary adventure — grounded in scientific theory — through time, space and chance, as we ask what if some of the most fundamental aspects of our existence were different.
