Scientists hail tenth planet

ASTRONOMERS today confirmed the discovery of a tenth planet in orbit around the sun.

The largest object found in our solar system since Neptune was discovered in 1846, it was first seen in 2003 but has only now been confirmed as a planet.

Designated 2003 UB313, at about 3000km from pole to pole the world of rock and ice is much larger than Pluto.

It is currently nine billion miles away from the sun.

"This is the first object to be confirmed to be larger than Pluto in the outer solar system," said Michael Brown, of the California Institute of Technology.

I wonder whether they’ll find intelligent life on this one, because they’ve failed to find any on the last 9. tongue.gif

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt

I heard they were still arguing whether it counted as a planet due to it's distance and rotating in the Kuiper belt. Whatever, I wonder what they'll name it. What's some really strange sounding Roman god?

Name the planet Bacchus. tongue.gif

Pluto isn't really a planet, though. It's slowly melting away. =/

That would be cool, but Jupiter is the Roman equivelant of Zeus, and if they go with the current trend or continue the pattern, Zeus is unlikely.
