Since it is so far removed from the Earth, it is tentatively named "Kerry's Planet".

 Finally, a place to dump all those AOL "99 hours free!" CD's. I already have more coasters than I have glasses.

It is redder and brighter than anything astronomers have seen in the outer solar system, and scientists don't know why It is a very elliptical orbit
There's absolutely nothing else like it known in the solar system
NIBIRU!

Astronomers have the best gig in the world of science. They can claim discovery of a heavenly body 200 billion
light years away, name it whatever and no one can dispute
the finding.
Now they try to tell us the have overlooked a planet in our own solar system for centuries. Can anyone argue
my initial point?

I think they should change the name to Sedona, new age goddess of Arizona.

Posting protocol requires that you do no make up your own headlines. Especially when you make an erroneous one. Did you read the article? It specifically says that it is NOT considered a planet.

Thanks. This discovery really does make me want to read up on good 'ole "X" again. My comments weren't entirely sarcastic.
I'd like to see the Hubble take a crack at imaging it.

With so elliptical of an orbit, I think that there is some other massive body within the orbit that we have not seen yet.
