"An object discovered earlier this year and considered by some to be our solar system's tenth planet is indeed larger than Pluto, a new study confirms."

Hope this is not a repost, heh. I was flummoxed to have not heard about the discovery before now, and being overworked is no excuse I suppose. Anyway, I just thought this might be of interest to some folk here.
 
Hmm... then we'll find the 11th planet... the 12th planet... the 13th planet... and so forth. There's always something out there. ;)
 
VamPyroX, there's probably tons of things out there just in our solar system. The thing, though, is that most objects far out are products of the Oort cloud (cold and small) and they may be disputed as planetary bodies.

Pluto's a good example.
