A New Dwarf Planet Probably Spotted Beyond Pluto
Original: A New Dwarf Planet (Probably) Spotted Beyond Pluto
Astronomers may have identified a new dwarf planet beyond Pluto's orbit, according to a report by The New York Times. The word 'probably' reflects the caution in the finding, which has not yet been fully confirmed. The discovery, if verified, would add to the small but growing list of known dwarf planets in the outer solar system, including Pluto, Eris, Makemake and Haumea.
Why now: News of a potential new dwarf planet in the distant solar system is fresh and appeals to wide interest in space discoveries.
