I knew. I have been telling NASA for years but no one listens to dear ol' Dave. They should call it planet Dave just to say they are sorry.

This was brought public a few months ago...and they still don't know if they want to consider it a planet or just a big chunk of ice....

I am so gonna make my astronomy prof help me find that planet during our astronomy labs. We have a huge ass telescope at the university, so that shouldn't be an issue, its just whether or not we can find it.

Guys.....This has been in the news way before this! They already have it named, and it's orbit is soooo elipitical you'd only see it from pluto every 1000 years or so.

Really? Then how come it was released as breaking news on Friday on Space.com and has just recently started making global news this weekend?
