"It's definitely bigger than Pluto." So says Dr. Mike Brown of the California 
Institute of Technology who announced today the discovery of a new planet in 
the outer solar system.

The planet, which hasn't been officially named yet, was found by Brown and 
colleagues using the Samuel Oschin Telescope at Palomar Observatory near San 
Diego. It is currently about 97 times farther from the sun than Earth, or 97 
Astronomical Units (AU). For comparison, Pluto is 40 AU from the sun.
