Sedna found

 SCIENTISTS have found a new world orbiting the solar system ? more than 3 billion kilometres further away from the Sun than Pluto and 40 years away from Earth in a space shuttle.

NASA is expected to announce today the discovery of the space object, which some experts believe could be a new planet.

It is provisionally known as Sedna, after the Inuit goddess of the sea.

I guess this little rock will add credibility to my modest proposal to build a terra sized planet and park it in the life zone of sol.  Hmmmm. Nice find.

Would that be the tenth or eleventh planet?  If I recall they already discovered another object out there that was wondered to be the 10th planet over a decade ago.

Planet X was theorized, but never proven...

Pluto's been officially discounted right? So that would make it 8, plus this new one would make 9, again.

No. Pluto has not been officially discounted.

If it were, I doubt Sedna make the cut either. It's an even smaller ice-rock (twice as far away and 90% of Pluto's size).

There is another one of these rocks rolling around out there that was discovered in the time frame you mentioned. Perhaps it is the "planet" you are thinking of Nemisis was supposed to be  a brown dwarf/dark star.

New Sedna article posits Earth sized planet at 70A U hidden in the direction of the galactic center. It's proposed mass is from one to three earth masses. It's existance is the most believable explanation for Sedna's wierd orbit. If true there is much more raw material for my modest space proposal than previously acknowledged. There is a team contemplating looking for it now. Here is the URL:
