 The Tenth Planet in our Solar System...
http://www.comcast.net/providers/fa...-Jj63-qLgL8YI3C
Take a look at that video, you only need Flash 6 I believe. They've discovered what could be the tenth planet in our solar system, and it also has a little red moon. It's slightly smaller than Pluto, and has been dubbed Setna. (sp)

It was just in the news this morning, apparently it's being reconsidered for "planet" status.

interesting how they can look at and discover solar systems billions of light years away....and we are now finally finding out there might be 10 planets.

Well, they have suspected the Tenth Planet for ages, because Pluto does not explain variances in the other eight planets.

what gets me is, How the hell do they make telescopes so powerful enough to actually find these planets anyway? That planet must be billions of miles away

You can see stars from light years away with the naked eye. There are plenty of ways to discover the existence of planets inside the solar system, relatively speaking just around the corner. But it HAS taken a long time, assuming this is all verified anyway. It takes a lot of effort to find a planet.

Actually from what I have read and heard..planets are not all that hard to come by. They have found other planetary systems just by watching the orbital path of a celesital body. When they notice that this body becomes dark and then light again...they have discovered that in most cases it is a moon that is passing in front of it...by seeing this, they are able to narrow down their search for other solar systems.
With Sedna being our 10th planet...I am surprised that the hubble didn't see this...
With the two missions of Voyager 1 and 2, they left our solar system after Jupiter and Saturn...or else we would have known sooner than just this past November.

They have discovered other planetery systems, but most of them have jupiter sized planets as close to their star as earth is to the sun. This is done by observing the amount that the star's wobble and vibrate from the planet's gravitational pull. The images of them are only computer generated images.
They are planning a huge telescope scheduled for completion in 2025, which will be able to look directly at earth sized planets in other star systems, and even be able to determine the composition of the atmospheres of those planets. This will actually show what other planets look like, showing the structure of the surface and stuff like that.
I am studying Aerospace Engineering at University, and it would be just sooo cool to be involved in a project like that.
