Juz heard the news abt the discovery of the 'tenth' planet in our solar system! so shocking!! The report claimed it was detected in 2003 but only discovered recently in July this year. Hence, it was given a temporary name - 2003UB313. Why this name? Beats me... 2003UB313 is definitely bigger and further than pluto. It's composition is almost similar to tat of pluto - ice, rocks and frozen methane on the surface(brrr... goes to show how cold it is). The main difference would be the color of the planets. Pluto is red whereas 2003UB313 is grey. Both hav ecentric orbits around the sun. Quoted from one of the articles,

" The orbit of the new planet is even more eccentric than that of Pluto. Pluto moves from 30 to 50 times the sun-earth distance over its 250 year orbit, while the new planet moves from 38 to 97 times the sun-earth distance over its 560 year orbit."

Artists concept of the view from the planet, looking back towards the distant sun.

A view of the solar system from the north down. The four circles show the orbits of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The yellow dot in the center is the sun. The earth, if it were shown, would be inside the yellow dot representing the sun. The orbits of the two outermost planets, along with their current positions, are also shown.

In times to come, wu noes there might be another eleventh or even twelfth planet? Nothing in this world is predictable and absolute. Maybe tat's the reason why our lives are so ironic - both difficult and interesting. Appreciate everything you have or once had. Most importantly, accept and embrace the change.
