Thanks Greg
The one I linked to brings up the same old question ..How big is a planet?
The second one, if its the size their saying , should be classed as a planet if its larger than Pluto.
10 is a better number.
I saw a link on Mike Brown's site to the larger one but skipped it, now I cant find it.
The discoveries still leave hope for more.
As a note, The Spanish team credited with the discovery of 2003 EL61 were using what looks like a 14" Celestron (I cant read Spanish), well within amateur scope parameters.

Wow, UB313 is twice Pluto's average distance away, only 1/4 the amount of light that Pluto gets would fall on it. Er, I think that's how it works. It would be dark there!
Xena is its nickname at the moment.. the discoverers have submitted the name they have chosen to the International Astronomical Union but they are keeping their choice secret.
I feel sorry for the Astrologers, surely this must stuff up their charts.. that explains why i have been moody lately, Xena in Taurus rising
10th Planet???
