Interesting the sizes of those bodies are nearly the same.

Am I wrong, or haven't we "discovered" a 10th plan every other year for the past 20 years?
It just seems like I remember the odd story popping up every so often about the discovery of a 10th planet.

Another catastrophic failure of Bode's Laws. (Gets demoted to theory?)

Between feedings and diaper changes of his newborn daughter, Michael E. Brown may yet find an 11th planet. I understand that Uranus was found while changing a diaper...

Planet or not planet? I think the category "planet," like Bode's Law, is good as far as it goes, and has gone as far as it's going to go. Like Bode's Law, it's neat, but reality is messy, and sooner or later we discover that.
So, let's not call anything-else-we-find-past-Pluto a planet.
(Unless of course it's big, has moons, and a tidy orbit on the same plane as everybody else.)
I say if it causes silly arguments, it's NOT a planet.

Drop it, Dr. Brown- we've already got too many planets.

The failure of NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope to see infrared light indicated a diameter of less than 2000 miles. But the telescope was mistakenly pointed in the wrong direction. If the telescope was pointed in the wrong direction, the lack of infrared light would not be an indication of anything.

This is just more men of science speculating about the sky with their ungodly viewing tubes. More than 9 planets? Total speculation. I remember real science with steam and pistons. Not this modern fantasy romance with the sky.
