The discovery may spur a longstanding debate among scientists about what objects circling the Sun are large enough to be considered planets and whether Pluto qualifies. “We either have eight planets or we have several dozen in our solar system,” said Brian Marsden of the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in an e-mail. “Nine or ten is not an option.”

I can say without a doubt that there is nothing there. It's far too cold.
for one, you must know nothing about life. Notice that there is life at the bottom of the ocean where a human would be squished to a pulp? Ya thought so. So you cannot say without a doubt.Report, edit, etc...Posted by lonely_duck on 2005-07-31 at 15:10:43
Euro how do you explain that no other planet has life then? Venus probably had life on it but died out because it became to hot and Mars had microrganisms but they didn't survive.

Mars had microorganisms from what we have seen so far.....
Please don't say that there can't be life on other planeys (For all you people who say this) because we CANNOT be the only ones in the universe.....

why theres no life on the other 8 planets? Well because you can't get something out of nothing. We didn't just appear here on Earth. Obviously because the things needed to make life weren't there. As I believe our ancestors (micro-organisms) were brought hewre on an asteroid, which used to repeatedly hit us billions of years back.

While I do not personally believe there is much chance of life elsewhere in our solar system, in reality a star does not have to be the only source of energy. Chemical reactions can, in fact, generate energy for chemosynthetic creatures, which can be found on Earth as well. See link.

Hey Ðk, it's kinda like you doing that thing that you did which made Blizzard crank out a new patch.
In conclusion, more work was done to make more work be done. Seeing how it isn't any of us doing the work, we can just sit back, relax, and laugh.

Braxis would indeed fit, as it orbits at something like 95 AU.

ok stay serious ppl, no stupid spam posts....
Xena seems to fit.
Xena - X means 10 in roman numerals
TEN - replace the X with a T and you have the word ten in xena
as someone said earlier.

Ima put down what I think, and know:
1. There is a tenth planet.
2. I heard it was bigger than pluto, but scientists weren't sure if it was close enough to be in our solar system. I dunno, maybe not.
3. There is no black hole at the edge of our solor system. We would have all known by now. It would have sucked up pluto easily and we woulda been like "WTF!! WHERE'D PLUTO GO!! OMG OMG OMG!!"
4. There is NO WAY there is life on that tenth planet unless is has an atmosphere, and it wouldn't have one of those because its not close enough to a heat source. Unless there is some kind of life that can withstand -204 degrees, life doesn't exsist on that planet. Although I completely agree that other intellegent life does exist somewhere in this universe.
5. I think we should name it Xavier. AFTER ME!! 
No, but it would probably need to be named in latin or greek or roman, to keep up with tradition. 
So maybe like, Hermes, roffle. So small and insignificant (I guess Hermes was sorta significant.. )

Ok, here's a little Greek/Roman gods/goddesses equivalance list in case anyone wants to explore the topic further. As you can see, all the planets of our system so far were all named after Roman/Greek mythology (except Earth
), so will the naming of the 10th planet with "Xena" start a whole new sequence of new planets (as, almost certainly, there are more than 10 in our system) named after TV characters, comic book heroes/heroines, or even Celebrities? Just imagine if they called the 1000th planet Madonna.Report, edit, etc...Posted by Cnl.Fatso on 2005-08-05 at 21:11:13
Sure! Planet 11 could be named after Batman.
We could call it "Wayne's World".
