But I thought this science was settled?
To: Red Badger
Well according to one of the “buy it here now” nets, that would be the sun and the moon.

“Their calculations are based on the unusual orbital behaviour of very distant space rocks called extreme trans-Neptunian objects, or ETNOs.”
If they are indeed trans-Neptunian, it would be discriminatory to deny them the same planetary status afforded to cis-gendered planets. The stated ‘unusual behavior’ would also be fitting. (deliberately refraining from “Uranus” joke here)

Suggest at least one new planet be named after Rudolf Diesel.

....it would be discriminatory to deny them the same planetary status afforded to cis-gendered planets....It would also be discriminatory to deny the residents of the new planets "Diesel" and "Reggie Love" the benefits of Obamacare and to deny them protection against Global Warming.
in re refraining from “Uranus” joke ....
today's sensitive young FReepers are trained to say "YOOR-eniss," not "yoor-ANUS." which apparently can cause severe itching among the scientific end of the LGBT community.
This sort of thoughtful sensitivity is especially important now that we have an ETNO as POTUS.

The other has to be named after Al Sharpton, to avoid any claims of racism in naming planets.

Planet “X” stands for the tenth planet.
