Scientists have found a roughly Pluto sized object circling the sun, does this mean we have another planet?? We will find out at a later date as they look into it further. anyone else read this or see this today?

since you are so happily laughing loudly, i will let you in on a little secret: this's where i'm from. i'm a rare type of frozen ice monster. and i'll gitt y'all, someday, for discovering and defaming my home planet. you're all just nice-planet-ruining bastards. for a ruthless, completely uncivilised creature, i am an extremely environment-conscious individual. also, you could call me a kind of hillbilly or hick.. or, a hairy and densely furred, hippie-hermit.. also, there's no other member of my species. so i will one day propagate with myself excruciatingly/asexually to sustain my species....

They found it because someone cleaned the lens.
I've been allways intrested in this shit. And hopefully we will get more information about this soon. I heard on the radio that the temperature there is something like -250'c, so its damn cold.

oh yeah, a bit smaller than our own moon.
quoar is shown here also. pluto and quoar are basically just kuiper objects.
the 'new' planetoid fits more closely to that kepler order thing or whatever.

diameter earth's moon: 2100miles pluto: 1400 quoar: 800
I don't think they have determined the new one precisely, but they said it is about 3/4th's the size of pluto so maybe about 1000 miles in diameter

This whole story stinks. First they send up this Spitzer telescope, then it happens to find something as dramatic as this. Nice coincidence, especially when the time for budget talks is around the corner.
Here's what I think. They found this a year ago, then someone said, "Ok, this one goes to Spitzer. It hasn't done anything meaningful yet." (then later, "Quick! Hide the porn, the boss is coming!")

Maybe I've become a sceptic from reading all of Tom Clancy's books, but I always find myself reverse-engineering news. Just like CIA field agents.
