It appears that our solar system has not nine, but ten planets!
UB313 was found in january.
So, how does this affect astrological charts???

Well, there are plenty who argue still that Pluto isn't a planet, but this one may be larger. So perhaps it will qualify as the ninth...Comment

'' . . .Uncle Sam's on UB 313 . . .''
Nah, doesn't have the same ring to it.

Last week I read an article in New Scientist that there could be as many as 23 planets, if not more in the solar system. I think UB313 was found in 2003 but it took two years to confirm it existed. I can't see it making it into any astrological charts anytime soon. Imagine it..."UB313 is on the horizon between Mercury and Venus signalling that good fortune is heading your way".Comment

They should call it "Urpeenus". That's the only sensible name for a new planet... of "Urfajina", perhaps?

Re: The tenth planet
No doubt the astrologers will already have observed its cosmic influence before the benighted astronomers got round to 'discovering' it? :?Originally posted by mordenkainen

A reasonable name for the new planet might be "Persephone," or if it is desired to continue the uneuphonious Roman naming scheme, "Proserpine."

Unofficially it seems to be being called 'Xena'. 8O
Is it too late to start the campaign for naming it after a decent fantasy genre female, say, Zarozinia? :P_"For an eternity Allard was alone in an icy limbo where all the colours were bright and sharp and comfortless.

You wanna be King? Wanna be the King of Bob?
Look, why don't we just call it Mondas, after Doctor Who...Or why not Rodney...after Dave?
So how long do you think it'll be until the Cybermen turn up and start kicking a fuss?Comment

<puts on pedantic hat>Actually, by my reckoning, Mondas is 19 years overdue, bearing in mind that the events of The Tenth Planet supposedly occur in 1986 iirc.<takes pedantic hat off>Originally posted by Jeremiah_"For an eternity Allard was alone in an icy limbo where all the colours were bright and sharp and comfortless.
