HD 106906 b is an "exoplanet nine" found by the Hubble Space Telescope. Astronomers used Hubble to measure the precise motion of the exoplanet and found its orbit is likely inclined to the orbital plane of the binary stars at the center of a circumstellar disk. HD 106906 b's orbit is very similar to the kind of orbit predicted for "Planet Nine" in our solar system.
