It appears that there may be a tenth planet out there; way beyond Pluto. On Monday a couple of astronomers announced that they have found a Kuiper Belt object that is apparently 3 times as far away from the sun and larger than Pluto. There will be some discussion, of course, about whether it is a planet or not. Some folks don't think Pluto really qualifies.
