Back in primary school, when I was first taught about the solar system and how all the nine planets go around the sun, teachers never failed to emphasise that Pluto, the 9th planet, is the furthest planet away from earth and the sun.
Even at that young age, I always used to wonder if it will ever be possible for another planet to be found - and if I will live through to see, hear and read about a new planet's discovery?
Miraculously in March this year, there was news that a world beyond Pluto, indeed, did exist after all.
What's even more interesting is the latest finding reported at http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/4304048.stm says that the new planet which at present is being called Xena, will have the company of the moon - the latter is nicknamed Gabrielle for now :-)
