This is the same Kuiper object as on the other threads. Three massive new Kuiper belt objects have been cataloged in the last day or so, two in the ballpark of the size of Pluto, and one unambiguously larger. The amateur Spanish astronomer scooped Brown on that other object, and so Brown's group is publishing the rest of their objects, lest they lose credit for those as well.
This one, 2003 UB313, is by far the most interesting as it is more like a regular planet in many respects. Unlike the other objects and Pluto, it does not have the Neptunian orbital resonance thing going on.

Aha! So there is something unseemly going on in the Ivory Tower.

THREE?!?
Three in ONE DAY? That is a "trinity"!
And, as if that isn't enough:
9 + 3 = 12. TWELVE!
TWELVE planets, orbiting a single life-giving LIGHT!
Twelve Apostles = TWELVE 'Gates' to the City = The TWELVE Tribes Of Israel!
It is a Sign of Heaven, from Heaven, in the Heavens!
Oops! That is another "trinity", which must be a further 'witness'!
"There shall be signs and wonders"
Or, shouldn't I give "them" ideas?
