A new planet has been 'discovered', is this actually a new planet or just a Kuiper belt object (like Pluto in my opinion)? Well the NASA funded scientists believe they have found one - named Sedna.

It is estimated Sedna is approximately three-fourths the size of Pluto. Sedna is likely the largest object found in the solar system since Pluto was discovered in 1930.
