It would be cool if they found a new exoplanet inside our solar system. Even so-called science writers are often dumb as bricks.

Uranus (I am not joking here) is one candidate. Its spin is highly tilted with respect to the ecliptic. It is difficult to reconcile conservation of angular momentum with this spin without postulating an unknown event in the planet's past.
