Scientists Claim Discovery of Trans-Plutonian Planet


Where are we going? Planet Ten!

Astronomers believe they have discovered a new planet a staggering 96 AU (9 Billion miles) from the sun. The new planet was probably not discovered before now because it's about 45 degrees off the elliptical plane that the other planets orbit the sun in. It is larger than Pluto, but not terribly large, so there will likely be some dispute as to whether or not it constitutes a "real" planet. [article]
