Wow!

 

Do you mean Xena . . . as in "Xena: Warrior Princess" . . . as in Lucy
Lawless?

It's about time!

 

Cool.

 

Can we name the next one Barbarella?  Huh?

While the 10th planet, which actually should be the 9th since Pluto was
downgraded, may not have been officially named, it is being referred to as
Xena by the astronomical community, and it's moon is being referred to as
Gabrielle.

All:

Many may already know this, but for those who have not heard...

Some may object that this has nothing to do with the local community...

Exactly!

"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 <http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/glossary/au.html> ). For
comparison, Pluto is 40 AU from the sun.
