Astronomers spot possible new dwarf planet beyond Neptune
Original: pluto
Astronomers report the discovery of a mysterious object in the outer solar system, beyond Neptune's orbit, which could qualify as a new dwarf planet. If confirmed, it would join Pluto, Eris and other icy bodies classed as dwarfs, adding to ongoing debate about how our solar system's far reaches are populated.
Why now: New discoveries of distant solar system objects always draw interest, especially given Pluto's reclassification.
