Name A Planet

Image hosted by Photobucket.com


This artist's concept shows the planet catalogued as 2003UB313 at the lonely outer fringes of our solar system. Our Sun can be seen in the distance. The new planet, which is yet to be formally named, is at least as big as Pluto and about three times farther away from the Sun than Pluto. It is very cold and dark. The planet was discovered by the Samuel Oschin Telescope at the Palomar Observatory near San Diego, Calif., on Jan. 8, 2005. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech

What name would you choose to give this newly discovered planet?

Planet X of course. ^_^

We'll have to monitor it for radio transmission and giant monsters, of course.

I don't know, but I roomed with one of its discoverers in college (Chad Trujillo). He's a great guy! And I'm going to brag about it every chance I get.

You have every right to brag :)
