I must confess after another exam I took at Thursday, I look at the sky at night and there was a bright light. Well I thought to myself it must be venus or jupiter.

But maybe it's this new planet after Neptune:

That is not about a new planet in the solar system. It is about a peculiar exoplanet. You will not be able to see it with the naked eye.
