Rep Power: 237 | ~~ Discovery of 10th Planet ~~ Astronomers detect '10th planet' Astronomers in the United States have announced the discovery of the 10th planet to orbit our Sun. The largest object found in our Solar System since Neptune was discovered in 1846, it was first seen in 2003 but has only now been confirmed as a planet. Designated 2003 UB313, it is about 3,000km across, a world of rock and ice and somewhat larger than Pluto. Scientists say it is three times as far away as Pluto, in an orbit at an angle to the orbits of the other planets. Astronomers think that at some point in its history, Neptune likely flung it into its highly-inclined 44-degree orbit. | |

Rep Power: 191 | Re: ~~ Discovery of 10th Planet ~~ Han PPS 22.. siniya c main v kafi din pahilan es discovery baare. But they're disputing the fact that it's a planet. There's difference in opinions on what exactly is a planet.. coz aparantly this one doesn't quite meet all the criteria traditionally associated with Planets in the solar system. | |
