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.

I wish I had just one sink with a window over it. :o| Maybe my new digs will have one.
The broken skin on my right arm from the fight with the dryer door frame on Monday is itching like crazy today. I put some Bacitracin on it Monday and a gauze pad (I think I have two or three of those left — I am so clumsy, these days) and taped it to my arm and it would seem that I have finally developed a sensitivity to the Bacitracin as well as the long-standing sensitivity to adhesives. Dang.
So my arm itches. I will wash it once again with anti-bacterial wash and hope that helps.
This will be known as my Summer of Clumsiness!
There are only two kinds of people in the world:
1. Those who makes lists, and
2. Those who don’t.
oh yeah!
That robot needs a slip and fall lawyer ASAP.
I feel much better knowing that.
and don’t be fooled by that la-di-dah import labeling, Katzenmilch.
Is this like baby formula for motherless kittens?
I saw it with some friends in college.
Stupid movie, and all the wrong messages were the ones being remembered by my friends.
I wish I knew how to take something so stupid and make it so popular. Pet Rocks, The Democrat Party, etc. I could make a fortune.
Worked for me.
I never figured out why John Connors never thought of that.
How it became a cult fetish has always been a mystery to me. And wondering how many man from that era were given tacit approval for cross dressing.
Could be. The old Iraqi baby milk factory bombed by Bill Clinton was repurposed by the Germans for katzenmilch I hear.
World Population Day?
Has to be something dreamed up by the united nations...
In John Connors’ era, the machines must have killed the lawyers first, after Skynet first became aware and identified the threat.
A soothing thought that helps me sleep peacefully.
A Night time view of the first river crossing the Romans where ever chased back over.
They still occasionally dredge Roman skulls out of the river in the area of London Bridge. You can tell they are Roman, they have Sword slots in the back.
What a sight....What a site....
You can clearly see all the important roads out, in that view.
:)
Okay, that explains Cat Milk. What about Baby Oil ?
“Look at all those robot foot prints on the wall next to the stairs. It must have been in a hurry many times in the past.”
K9 software operates in the same manner,be it in a K9 or a robot. A Dog is a Dog. :)
“Has to be something dreamed up by the united nations...”
Globalists and Leftards are fascinated by three things:
1) Everyone else’s existence,Hence population.
2) Fresh water and what everyone else does with it.
3) People who make lists of everything Leftards and Globalists are fascinated by...
Waiting......
Mine!
