So almost certainly not a planet. But it sounds like it’s something.
There’s no reason a planet couldn’t have a very high inclination.
Yep, but it hasn’t been observed in our star system and everything we have observed so far implies it to be very unlikely. It would be very exciting if it were so; it’d immediately become my new fav planet.
In other words, a retrograde orbit.
