[QUOTE="spiney, post: 121615, member: 192438"] yeah, I saw this too, on BBCi (Freeview). Well, astronomers have been speculating for years, known orbital perturbations must mean there's something else out there, etc, and now they've finally found it! But, turns out it's a big block (I mean, sphere!) of ice, so wouldn't that make it a captured comet, and not a "real planet" ? In Dr Who, The Tenth Planet (kindly destroyed by the BBC!) had Bill Hartnell, as Dr Who, first encountering the Cybermen (in those days, played by actors with paper bags on their heads), so let's hope there's no real ones. (added) Orbit is not in Planetary Plane, just like Pluto, also suggesting it's been "captured". [/QUOTE]
