Hmm, will they eventually revoke Pluto´s status as a planet or will they add similar objects to Club Planet and justify it´s status? :D

Pfft. Pluto is a honorary planet. That won't change. Sedna and this new pipsqueek can get bent. :P

Still, nice find. We'll probably see plenty more like it as time goes on.

It seems like every time astronomers find something new, they suddenly find ten zillion more things just like it.
A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.

Have a very nice day.

Of course!

Finally we've found Planet Rupert. Now we just wait for the aliens to come to revise their horoscopes to fit non-Earth planets. [/reference]
