Astronomers have nicknamed a new dwarf planet circling the sun at the outer edges of the solar system after Vice President Joe Biden.
According to Nature, a leading scientific journal, the object's official designation is 2012 VP113. But the team studying its orbit around the sun colloquially refer to the planet as just "VP" or "Biden," after the sitting vice president.
The object won't carry an official title until scientists collect more data. After determining its orbit, they'll submit a formal name to the International Astronomical Union (IAU) for consideration. The Biden dwarf is the second such object to be discovered in the area beyond Pluto. The object is 280 miles across, and an estimated minus 430 degrees.
Well is planet Biden a Gas Giant or cold rock..because Biden can be both
Did you know that they’ve discovered rings around Uranus?
Slojo.
So that’s what was causing the pain in my ass. Thought it was just Obama’s policies.
Gotta tell my granddaughter to stop leaving her things in my chair. Kids, you gotta love them.
LOL That is very good!
“Captain’s Log, Stardate 44390.1. We’re in orbit around the planet Plugs. We’ve conducted a full sensor scan and have discovered no sign of intelligence.”
The planet Ignoramus.
Well, we can already know that it’s a planet with a foot and mouth.
Since “Pluto” is taken, Goofy would seem logical.
Hey,this is a big f******** deal!
Dumbo, Plugs, A-Hole, Clueless, Gaff, and list goes on and on.
They named the new planet CRAP or could it be Dumb & Dumber?
They’ve renamed Bizzaro World?
I was thinking “Goofy”.
Planet Biden - just like Uranus.
“Since Pluto is taken, Goofy would seem logical.”
We have a winner!
Astronomer #1: “Quick, we need a name for this thing!”
Astronomer #2: “Hmm... Well, it’s an object beyond Uranus...”
How did they know the planetoid was hollow inside?
Just corrected the new planet’s name at another post. There was a spelling mistake. It’s not BIDEN, it’s “BIDET” because its related to assholes and Lunch Bucket Joe is one of the biggest of them all.
