A team of
astronomers systematically scanning the far reaches of the
solar system has discovered a distant, icy world that is bigger than
Pluto but so far away the head of a pin held at arm's length would blot
out the sun. The discovery, if confirmed, would force astronomers to
re-write their textbooks and give school kids a 10th planet to memorize
once a governing body sanctions the still-secret name proposed by a
trio of discoverers.
