Astronomers have discovered an object in our solar system that is larger than Pluto. They are calling it the 10th planet, but already that claim is contested.

It is the first time an object so big has been found in our solar system since the discovery of Pluto 75 years ago.

The announcement, made today by Mike Brown of Caltech, came just hours after another newfound object, one slightly smaller than Pluto, was revealed in a very confusing day for astronomers and the media.

I really think they should have more requirements for something to become a 'planet'. I think the new one should be "Has life on it"

It probably will, for all we know it could be a cluster of meteors heading our way.

[Jerome Scuggs]

We have stars millions of light years away plotted

AND WE CAN'T EVEN SEE A GODAMNED PLANET

There's always metoers passing us by Kim, sometimes by the skin of our teeth (in astronomical terms), and better yet, most of them we don't even know about until they've passed us.

Hasn't this idea of a 10th planet in our system existed for a while now?

They also noticed a huge asteroid which is coming right at us. Might hit us in a few years and the earth will be gone
Anyway .. Think they should call the planet "TrenchWars" or so.

This makes me think of Zaicariah Stitchin "13th Planet", anyone else ever read about this.

Says there was 2 planets which collided, Marduke and Tiamat.
