On February 21, 2017, just six days after the launch of the website, Backyard Worlds volunteer Bob Fletcher, a science teacher at Lambert School in Hobart, Tasmania, noted the existence of a small ‘dipole’ in the flipbook showing the ‘subtile’ centered at R.A. 165.46 degrees, declination 54.03 degrees.

新發現的一個行星可能會改變我們對木星的觀點！
美國宇航局資助的一個由天文愛好者組成的科學團隊“後院的世界“，是發現太陽系第九大行星所組建的：最近美國宇航局的天文愛好者發現了新的新的棕矮星它就是WISEA J110125.95 + 540052.8”    新發現的棕矮星WISEA J110125.95 + 540052.8，距離我們大約111光年，它比木星更加的溫暖，它的溫度達到了數百度，光譜屬於T級別。在後院的世界：行星9號觀測網站允許任何天文愛好者訪問，只要你擁有一台可以連接互聯網的電腦，那麼你就可以使用美國宇航局的廣域紅外線巡天探測衛星來觀測太陽系外的天體。如果一個天體足夠接近太陽，那麼它就在映像中呈現出一種非常活躍的狀態，而正是這種狀態來發現行星9。　美國自然曆史博物館資深科學家傑基·法赫蒂博士博士說：“我對這些天文愛好志願者感到非常自豪，因為是他們讓我看到了這個冰冷的世界中存在的眾多數據，這對於空間探索有著傑出的貢獻。通過觀測這顆行星可以為我們解釋關於木星的眾多疑點，而且這項觀測活動對於發現行星9,也是有著很大的幫助。畢竟宇宙中的天體實在是太多了。

One night three months ago, Rosa Castro finished her dinner, opened her laptop, and uncovered a novel object that was neither planet nor star. Therapist by day and amateur astronomer by night, Castro joined the NASA-funded Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 citizen science project when it began in February -- not knowing she would become one of four volunteers to help identify the project's first brown dwarf, formally known as WISEA J110125.95+540052.8.
