Pluto isn't quite as lonely as scientists had thought.
Astronomers have discovered another dwarf planet in the Kuiper Belt, the ring of icy objects beyond Neptune. But this newfound world, dubbed 2015 RR245, is much more distant than Pluto, orbiting the sun once every 700 Earth years, scientists said. (Pluto completes one lap around the sun every 248 Earth years.)
"The icy worlds beyond Neptune trace how the giant planets formed and then moved out from the sun," discovery team member Michele Bannister, of the University of Victoria in British Columbia, said in a statement. "They let us piece together the history of our solar system."
...
The exact size of 2015 RR245 is not yet known, but the researchers think it's about 435 miles (700 kilometers) wide. Pluto is the largest resident of the Kuiper Belt, with a diameter of 1,474 miles (2,371 km).
The research team first spotted 2015 RR245 in February of this year, while poring over images that the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope in Hawaii took in September 2015 as part of the ongoing Outer Solar System Origins Survey (OSSOS).
"There it was on the screen — this dot of light moving so slowly that it had to be at least twice as far as Neptune from the sun," Bannister said.

Done.

Love it!
Lol,
Is that for real, or has it been Nullyed? :)
“Priority road (priority at all following intersections up to an end-of-priority-road, yield or stop sign). In some countries, the meaning was changed to the next intersection only.”
The sign underneath out of view says “Democrat Voter Registration” with a similar arrow...
I can see where that would be very tiring, talking all day, saying the same things to different people at different times.
I’m a little on the tired side today. So tired, in fact I don’t want to eat because it’s too much effort to forage and then cook something.
What I really want is to go to bed.
Thanks, I can wait.
One good thing, though; I found BBCTV online so I can watch “Are You Being Served?” And of course, “Keeping Up Appearances.” I never get tired of those. Nor “Antiques Roadshow.” Somehow, that’s more fun than the American version. ;o]
Maybe one of this days, I’ll find “Benny Hill” shows...
What a precious kitteh! Thank you!
How is the move going?
That’s the Doku pest.
Well, I’m home. I’ve vacuumed, washed dishes, clean up the bathroom, run some laundry ...
Entropy is *strong* here.
Kathleen colored a picture for me: purple flamingoes, purple water, purple palm trees ...
And always a change into clean dry socks is as good as a nap...good for another 20 miles of hiking or another 6 hrs on an all nighter, limousins for the feet....or so I've found.
I have to agree!
I told my pharmacist I was envious of his trip to Montana (a state I haven’t been to) and he said, “If you can carry a 50# pack, I’ll take you next time I go.” I can. I have, at least once a month in the not too distant past, when I was on Shank’s Ponies. (I don’t think he was serious, of course. But it was nice of him to offer!)
But I also took said backpack to Pakistan with me, and only a small carry-on bag. :o]) I was there three weeks.
“That’s the Doku pest.”
Is that saying we don’t want to “honor” him with a takeover?
I like clean socks, myself, although I prefer sleep.
Speaking of which, we’re supposed to go to a pool party this evening, so I’d better go find a bathing suit and not accidentally fall into bed with Jake! Jake appeared as soon as I came home, told me Mao, and allowed me to let him in and out several times.
It won’t be long before I head for the barn. I’ve been very tired the last two days, but need to marshal my efforts to get the sheets and towels done tomorrow. I would wash the mattress pad, but I think it would fall apart.
It’s getting worn out, too, as it doesn’t want to stay on. And it doesn’t heat up properly, either. I get so cold if I don’t have it on. But I don’t know when I’ll be able to get one. *sigh*
Hope you have a good night! I’d better get up before I don’t get up.
I hope I do, too. I was crying in my sleep again. I don’t recall the dreams, so that’s good.
If this chair was more comfortable, I would be very tempted to stay in it until morning!
So you have a good night, too!
Doku, derr, timothy toler, etc etc.
No, he still hasn’t gotten a life beyond being obvious troll.
Leave Paddington alone!
Unless you are talking about the movie rather then the book version. In which case, bombs away!
