    Remember when they cross Pluto off as a planet making us a 8 planet solar system and screwing everything up? Well scientist say we really are/could be a nine planet solar system. I wish they'd just make up their minds. :p

    It is a bit premature to declare a ninth member of this family. But do allow future room at the adult table for a lot more than nine chairs.

    The kid's table is probably going to have more chairs than we can count.

    If it's in the Ort cloud, wouldn't that mean it had not cleared its orbit, disqualifying it for planet status?

    What about the brown dwarf twin to our sun? Do we have any more evidence for its existence yet?
