And another one...

And just after last night's announcement of the discovery of a small icy rock in the outer solar system, we have news of a much larger, icy rock. It's much larger, twice as far away, and in a highly inclined (44 degree!) orbit which suggests it has had a nasty close encounter with Neptune at some stage in the past. Far more worthy of the title of "tenth planet" than Sedna.

    We don't need anymore planets. This is just astronomers drumming up popular support for larger budgets ;-)
