BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Astronomers detect '10th planet'
seen first in october 2003, it took till now to actually recognise movement and plot it's physical location and size. larger than pluto, a possible victim of Neptunes forces flinging it out into such a far and strange orbit.

are we going to see a new scifi channel B movie about shaven headed sword and laser wielding monks fighting off a landing party or will this scientific discovery fade into the dusty filing cabinets of some nameless basement?
