Scientists Discover Tenth Planet

NASA-Funded Scientists Discover Tenth Planet and yet it doesn’t seem to be a very popular news story. Pretty interesting to me, I’ve always enjoyed looking up at the stars. When I was much younger we had a telescope powerful enough to see distant stars and planets.

  1. Yeah, I wondered why there’s not much talk about this. I always thought this was old news though. I’ve heard something similar years ago.

  2. If you can call it a plantet. It’s like Pluto and out in the Keplar belt. I bet there are many “planets” just like this but are huge ice balls. Pluto’s orbit is opposite of every other planet in the system. Sorry we had a big debate about Pluto in my astronomy class a couple years ago. It’s funny because we predicted that they would find more like it.
