With new data, may not exist at all:

"Existing hypotheses claim a mysterious ninth planet is hiding past Neptune, in the outskirts of our solar system. However, new research from astronomers at the University of Pennsylvania challenges any clustering trans-Neptunian rocks. Their data supporting this comes from the Dark Energy Survey, carried out at a Chilean observatory.

"’'We would not have formulated the Planet Nine idea if our data was the only data that existed,’ said (Pedro) Bernardinelli to New Scientist. The scientist's previous 2020 study, also using data from the Dark Energy Survey, found 316 trans-Neptunian objects, including 139 minor planets in the space past Neptune. The researcher's works ultimately seems to show that the faraway region is inhabited by numerous small objects which are uniformly distributed rather than grouped.'"

Comment: this is how science works. New data, changed result.
