This is old news. I reged sedna.ws over a year ago then just let it expire. All the good names will be long gone.

The old new planet has been named Sedna, about a year ago, the new new planet is 2003UB313 until they find a name for it - personally I like:

PlanetEric or PlanetBrenda if it is determined to be female, PlanetPlanet if they are stuck for a name, or PlanetBollywood for Indian contingent :wave:

What name would you prefer :blink:

 

[mole]

Wot's the difference between the old new planet and the new new planet? Which is which? So wot's the 10th planet? Is it the old new or the new new?

My head is spinning; this is just too much for a Sunday morning. I can’t believe we need a High Temperature Magnetic Azimuth Detector this early on a Sunday morning.

So wot's the 10th planet?

"Sedna" is not 10th planet. Sedna is planetoid.
There are many of similar objects in "Kuiper Belt" - like Varuna, Quaoar... even closer to Pluto than this one.

Thanks for the info, mole and dax. Will be interested to know more about this new member to our dear solar system. :P

That is correct. it turned out that Sedna( The ex 10th planet) was not the 10th planet after all.

The new 10th planet, may or may not be the 10th planet until further data has been collected.

There will be a meeting of minds in September to possibly announce the name of the new 10th planet and to confirm that the old 10th planet is in fact not the new 10th planet - it is anticipated -(with bated breath) that an announcement will be made at that meeting confirming that the new 10th planet will in fact actually be the new 10th planet.

If that is confirmed then they will have to name the new 10th planet, but not Planet Sedna because it isn't.

Hope that clarifies the situation :gl:

Just FYI -10thPlanet.com was regged in 1998 - now there is a potential name for the 10th planet :tu:
