Out There

[plumtreeblossom]

For those (i.e., me) needing a reminder that the universe is a whole lot bigger and more important than one's own little problems here on earth, lets not forget about the:

Newly discovered 10th planet in the solar system.

I think that's damn cool.


If you're just not up for brave new worlds right now, be entertained by Exit Mundi instead.

am I the only person who feels like we heard about this years ago? a planet larger than pluto beyond pluto?
I feel like I talked about this in a high school science class. Weird. Maybe I'm going nuts.

I'm pretty sure the 10th has been long talked about, and 11th, 12th and 13th are being debated in the same manner, as the 10th they are/were reluctant to give it "planetary" status owing to some abnormality/ scientific debate of some kind.

Sorry I mewant to add as I remember things to the end of that, my memory is abysmal.

It was official as of July. I'm surprised I didn't read about it until now. At the bottom of the page is a link to another article discussing other large objects in the outer belt of the solar system.
