Well, it's more of a satellite of the solar system. Many astronomers don't even consider Pluto a planet and this one is half it's size. Nonetheless, it's still cool.

What's a planet? Pluto has a moon so maybe that would be a good definition? No, there are known asteroids with moons. Do we go by size? Is pluto the cutoff point or is this new one going to be it (highly unlikely)?

All kinds of stuff orbits the sun, it's tough to decide which one is a planet, a caught asteroid, caught moon, or core of a comet.

<font color=red>I'd like to dedicate this post to all my friends, family, and fans. Without them this post would never have been possible. Thank you!</font color=red>

Now your getting technical...
While its probably large asteriod sized, and most likely non-spherical (asteriod shaped) cauz its in orbit around the sun i would give it the title of planet.

As they say, It may be a cold icy dark lump of rock to you, but to the exotic and rare protobacteria living there its home :wink:

Icecream is nice.
The tenth planet would be a great place to make icecream. nice and chilly. Plrobably well below the bioling point of Liquid N2

I don't think it would be icecream, more likely iceblock. Just like sucking on an ice cube. Only it would stick to your mouth and burn it.

Sure whynot?
Course with a planet that small gravity is probably close to zero. one big jump would probably send you hundreds of meters into the air.
Plus it might be a bit gloomy. Out there the sun will appear only as a bright spot.

I say we let wingding get us there. We get on his wood, and then he jets us after some intense rubbing. From what I heard, this guy deals with light year speeds when it comes to sexual power!

Don't forget, for the electric heaters we need generators or power supplies of some kind.

Well my love-stick is long enough to provide you with a walkway to this planet.

And, as you might have expected, I would be more than delighted to provide you with as much wank-powered electricity as you need. Just gimme a pic of some ladyboys engaging in acts of slippery debauchery. That'll do the job just fine.

So according to you we have a couple of billions of planets in our Solar System?

Exactly my point.

BTW, are they still searching for Planet X which disrubts the orbits of Uranus, Neptune and probably Pluto? Or am I way behind? If it is true that an large and heavy object sircles around the Sun with a vertical orbit compared to ours it could effect everything inside our Solar System... even satellites far enough from a planet. And what kind of planet will this be... question, questions... to many questions.

Man I must read more about Astronomy as I used to do.

Yet another sidetracked THGC thread :smile:

But yeah, the planet definition is very subjective. There are many 'moons' in the solar system that are larger than this planet, and even Pluto for that matter. They should be called planets before Pluto if you go by size alone.

Damn straight. Hey, have you picked up the latest Scientific American Special Edition? It's called "The Once and Future Cosmos."

Great read. 100 pages of cutting edge cosmology from studies of CMB radiation (and the MAP probe... on which my former physics 200 prof worked), to gravitational waves, to finding ripples in the primordial plasma, to extra dimensions... Good stuff.

I've had three exams this week. I'll be lucky if I live long enough to read that. I have chest pains from all the stress.

I'll see how next week goes and maybe I'll find it.

Even if you can't read it now, I highly recommend at least buying it and putting it aside. Best read I've had in a long time.
