What do you think they'll name the new planet?

It's actually just a large asteroid, and they haven't decided whether to call it a planet yet. Problem is, they also discovered that Pluto is just a large asteroid, and if they disacknowledge the new planet, they would have to also disacknowledge Pluto.

What....... planet........ are.......... you......... on?

I think there should be new aliens and an all new cast. How about Enterprise J?

First, forget Sedna.  That is a body smaller than Pluto, and it's not the one most likely to be our 10th planet. The one discovered last year, and which is larger than Pluto, is 2003 UB313, commonly known as Xena (although that is not among the names secretly submitted to the IAU as genuine candidates if the thing becomes a planet).\n\nAll the other planets (excluding Earth) are named after Roman gods, with the exception of Uranus, named after a Greek god.  I think we should go Greek again this time ... and it's about time we had another female besides Venus.\n\nSo I propose 'Nyx' (primoridal Greek goddess of the night, and daughter of Chaos).  The Roman equivalent is 'Nox' (which by the way is where we get 'equinox', meaning "equal-night" ... I learned that on West Wing.)\n\nAnd for the moon, one of Nyx's many children:  Hemera ("day"), Moros ("fate" or "doom"), or one of the three fates (Clotho, Atropos, or Lachesis), and there are many other candidates ... she had lots of children, a few of them with her brother Erebus.  (By the way, Erebus would be another good name (as a constant companion) ... but who knows if we'll discover another moon someday.

An object larger than pluto has been discovered but it will be up to the International Astronomical Union (IAU) to give it official planet status and to name it.

July 29, 2005: "It's definitely bigger than Pluto." So says Dr. Mike Brown of the California Institute of Technology who announced today the discovery of a new planet in the outer solar system.\n\nThe planet, which hasn't been officially named yet, was found by Brown and colleagues using the Samuel Oschin Telescope at Palomar Observatory near San Diego. It is currently about 97 times farther from the sun than Earth, or 97 Astronomical Units (AU). For comparison, Pluto is 40 AU from the sun\nThe planet's temporary name is 2003 UB313. A permanent name has been proposed by the discoverers to the International Astronomical Union, and they are awaiting the decision of this body before announcing the name. \nAm I right U_EVERYONE_K

earth (or so we would like to think)\n\nprobably some very advanced alien place that makes fun of us.

Often many people get involved in discovering a "planet" as several observations are required to verify and calculate the orbit.  Exactly what a planet is is subject to debate as even Pluto is not completely accepted as one.  The debate includes the question "how big does a rock have to be for us to call it a planet as opposed to an asteroid?"  Planet X was one possibility that seemed to just fade out of the news.  "Buffy" is the nickname of the latest "unusual" object out there (see my source article).  Heheheh, yes, "Xena" came public a few days before "Buffy."  Both are among the many rocks in the Kuiper Belt, including Pluto.  NASA's launching a probe called "New Horizons" to check out Pluto and the Kuiper Belt.

The newly discovered planet that rotates our sun is called 2003 UB313, but this question is causing a stir because since theres so many objects that are the size of pluto that rotate our sun scientists are trying to define what the term "planet" exactly means.\nfor more information look at the website below from "NASA"

Let's see: Pluto is probably saying numerous expletives, since we demoted it from planetdom. Uranus is too busy just passing gas to have anything to say. Neptune would be singing in the shower (that age of Aquarius song, I bet.) Jupiter would be talking at length about itself. Whatever Mercury was saying, good luck figuring it out, since it would talk too darn fast. Mars would be complaining about why all the other planets got cool-looking moons, while it got stuck with two deformed pieces of rubble. Venus is a chain-smoker, so would be too preoccupied puffing away to say anything. And Saturn would be cracking endless dry jokes about how it's the 'lord of the rings', much to the other planets' chagrin.

Super Solar System!\n\nPower Planets!\n\nAwesome Uranus! (just kidding)\n\nSuper-Model of the Stars\n\nThe Divine 9 (or if we're not counting pluto anymore..)\n\nThe Great 8\n\nThe Sun and Pals\n\nI don't know.. thats all my creative energy.. lol

Ask those living in other planets!

Venus.\n\nThe order of the planets is... Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto (although on occasions Pluto is closer then Neptune).\n\nYou can remember the sequence using this mnemonic.. My Very Easy Method: Just Set Up Nine Planets.

Yes, and the people who found it honestly want to have it called Xena.\n\nOn July 29, 2005, a Trans-Neptunian object called 2003 UB313 was announced, which on the basis of its magnitude and simple albedo considerations is assumed to be larger than Pluto. This caused its discoverers to call it the "10th planet" of the solar system, although there is no consensus yet on whether to call it a planet, and others consider the new discovery to be the strongest argument yet for demoting Pluto to the status of a minor planet.\n\nBut until then, it's being refered to as Planet X.

I think youd see a new planet ;)

The most recent planet discovered in our our solar system is named Cedna after the Inuit goddess of the sea. It is even smaller than Pluto.

if only someone really knew, I think the universe never ends.  I would really hope that we would find new planets outside our own solar system and we would really find other planets like Earth.  I still have time to pay attention and hope they continue to explorer.
