Hi Stephen

I'm interested in your take on this. Though you are undoubtable right that Pluto is (as well as Sedna and this 10th planet) a KBO, I'm sure I read somewhere that the definition of a planet is something like, an object that orbits the sun and is spherical under its own gravity.

Wouldn't that class all three as 'major' planets. If so maybe a new class should be invented... like large KBO's

Also what do you think about thiories that there could be a 'real' 10th (9th) planet past the KB. I know I have read suggestions that their might be a Neptune sized planet a long way out there, and though it is all purely speculation I wonder what your thoughts are on this?

Mike
