Look at that big planet. It called 2003 UB313 . Or simple , this planet called Xena. :)
This planet located after Pluto.
This planet discovered by a professor at California Institute of Technology , Prof. Mike Brown and his colleagues.(Chad Trujillo of Gemini Observatory in Mauna Kea, Hawaii, and David Rabinowitz of yale University)
Brown estimates that UB313 is somewhere between 2390 and 3550 km in diameter. This would make it approximately one and a half times the size of Pluto. Since the reflectance of the planet (percent of light it reflects) is not yet determined, it is not yet possible to measure its size exactly. However, even is the planet was found to have 100% reflectance, it would still be larger than pluto. Hence the team is confident the object is a planet.
The object currently lies nine billion miles from earth. Currently the object is approximately 97 astronomical units from the sun (about 97 times further from the sun than Earth is).
Awesome !
K ! That's all for this. Bye ~
