I bet Mystic Meg is rushing to revise here horoscopes right now. So what happens if Sedna is ascending in the house of Capricorn?

Astronomers discover 'new planet'

 

[Juan Albion]

Interesting choice of name, Sedna. My boat is named after the same mythical figure.

well you knew what it was about, you didnt have to look at it.

Who found it? Are the Americans going to claim for their own?

I suppose they'll send a rocket there, map the surface, then Disney will make a cartoon about it...

 

[John Dorian]

great somewhere else to live apart from the moon mars the sun when the earth blows up.....

It's actually just beyond an area of space called the Kuiper belt, which is just a load of asteroids the other side of Pluto . Well I think it's all interesting

 

[perseus]

All there is beyond the Kuiper belt is a hammer net and a great big empty space.

 

[Robot Chicken]

Sedna is part of Kuiper's belt? Goodness.

okay, i dont. I really enjoy astronomy and all that.

Yep it is Space rock, but may or may not be a planet, The International Astronomical Union which with categorises objects in space, has no definition for a planet. it's been argued that Pluto should be reclassified an asteroid, as it's to small for gravity to make it spherical and hasn;t got anywhere near as stable an orbit as the other planets
Anyway. I reckon this thread is a bit more of an argument about whether astronomy is interesting or not. My username is an astronomical reference, so i think yes

 

[Incredigull]

A new site for the ground then ??

 

[perseus]

Who is Sedna?

Plus this new planet is made of rock and ice only
