New planets??

[corsair231]

Hey guys,
My wife said she thought she had heard somewhere that a man was credited with discovering new planets in our solar system. Anybody heard anything about it or have a link?
Thanks

The planet's temporary name is 2003 UB313. A permanent name has been proposed by the discoverers to the International Astronomical Union, and they are awaiting the decision of this body before announcing the name. Stay tuned!

Yes, it would be terrible to disclose the name of the new planet too early. I vote for the planet I accuse stupid people of being from: Planet Igmo.
