A bit bigger than Pluto, 2003 UB313, is THREE TIMES farther away than Pluto. Neat :)
Omg its a rock in space that just happens to be orbiting the same star as us! Pwnage!

Sounds like a bot name and a build version.
*2003 UB313
I'm sure it will be named eventually if it is in our solar system...they aint gonna teach kids the name "2003 UB313" in school
How would it not be in our solar system?
there ARE other solar systems plaets can be in
It's in ours though.

:P Sometimes those astronomers get attatched to thier 9 planet models.. But yeah, I believe they have some sort of meeting where they decide whether or not to add it.
Ten planets seem to be so much cooler than nine.
Why did we discover it so late? Did it just come into orbit or something?
