NASA Announces 10th Planet - It Too To Be Named JVN?

http://www.spaceflightnow.com/news/n0507/29planet/

No new name, but my bet is on JVN knowing Dave's pull...

Re: NASA Announces 10th Planet - It Too To Be Named JVN?

I read about the possibility of its existence in a magazine more than 2 years ago, and from that point, I've just accepted the soon-to-be-fact that there are 10 planets. Now we have a good even number of planets in our solar system, and everyone can relax (I don't know about everyone else, but nine just didn't seem to be the correct number of planets in the first place.)

As far as naming it JVN? Sorry, but people have been looking for planet X for a long time. So I think it'd be right to name planet #10 "X."

Oh yeah, that one astrologer who is suing NASA over blasting a crater into that one comet, I think she's been paid back. Unless the discovery knocks her readings off, she now has another planet to make her predictions with.

X also stands for 10, so it fits. Mabey they can make the planet name the Mac OSX logo! (it too may happen due to Dave's pull in NASA )

I hope they continue with tradition and give it a name steeped in mythology.

Right on!

By the way, I knew that X meant 10.

I thought the 10th planet (Sedna) was already discovered?

The news here is that this newly identified distant object is larger than Pluto, so there's really no way to avoid calling it a planet (unless we also demote Puto to a "subplanetary Trans-Uranic Object").

My son, the "Hitchhiker's" fan, reminded me that Douglas Adams already named it "Rupert".

Re: NASA Announces 10th Planet - It Too To Be Named JVN?

so what is Sedna then?

A Planette?

a planetoid?

a planet cadet?

BTW, the end of the article is interesting. They found this planet a while ago, and had not made an announcement

but internet hackers hacked their site and forced them to go public?

is this the first time hackers have done something positive?

It's this massively dense rock that has such a great gravitational pull that it's able to fling Kuiper belt objects the way it does. I personally wonder what its history was.

If it were up to me I'd give it a more entertaining name than the kind they usually give to celestial bodies. I'd have some fun with it, I'd call it something like... The Planet Formerly Known as X.

Re: NASA Announces 10th Planet - It Too To Be Named JVN?

I wonder if most of its size comes from it being in the asteroid belt (picking up dust). Please tell me if I'm wrong but isn't that the theory on how the moon was formed. Asteroid hits earth, knocks debris into space then debris forms into large celestial body. Or is this going to be technically a large asteroid like Pluto?

"massively dense rock"... hmmm, maybe it really should be named "JVN"!!!
