They have discovered a NEW "planet" in our solar system and named it Quaoar (pronounced kwah-o-wahr).
It's near the Kuiper Belt, outside the orbit of Pluto. So we now may have a 10 planet solar system... however, it sounds like
they may drop Pluto OFF the list.
| One billion miles beyond
the solar system's most distant planet, four billion miles from the Sun, astronomers have discovered a massive object. "Quaoar"
(pronounced kwah-o-wahr,) a frozen world measuring 800 miles across, is the biggest mass found orbiting the Sun since the
discovery of Pluto in 1930. |
