But it's probably colder than Maine
"Book your trip to beautiful 2003 UB313 and get away from it all!" announced the advert board as I passed. Well, if I want a vacation as far away as possible from my daily life, I suppose I couldn't any further than the 10th planet of the solar system.
Sure, that's a lame way to start a post, but at least I haven't done it before. But how often is a new planet announced? It's been some 75 years since Pluto was confirmed and some astronomers aren't 100% sure it is a planet. But not too long after 2003 UB313 (hopefully that's a temporary name) was announced some astronomers challenged the claim that it's number ten or that it is even a planet at all.
If you ask me, if it's about 1.5 times bigger than Pluto as reported and has a more regular orbit, then it's a planet. The big question should be are we going to recall Voyager or the Pioneer probes so we can update the direction telling extraterrestrials where we are?
