Planet X Discovered

Astronomers at the Mount Palomar observatory near San Diego run by the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have discovered a tenth planet orbiting the sun. This new planet, tentatively named Xena, is nearly 10 billion miles away and is the farthest known object to orbit the sun. "The body is believed to be about 1,700 miles in diameter, about a quarter the size of the Earth, and about one-and-a-half times the size of Pluto . . . Xena is the most distant object detected orbiting the Sun, three times as far out as Pluto and 97 times as far out as the Earth. Its full orbit takes 560 years."

Is it not nifty?
