The tenth planet has a moon!

October 1st, 2005

The original discoverers of the tenth planet, along with astronomers at the Keck Observatory on Mauna Kea took a look at the 10th planet with a new instrument that allows them to see details as precise as those seen from the Hubble Space Telescope. The images quickly revealed that it has a faint moon in orbit around it!

    What is the official name being giving to the tenth planet? Why didn’t you give an picture of the planet on the internet? I am very glad you guys have found another planet. I never thought that there going to be another planet. What if there’s an eleventh planet out there somewhere? I mean this was unexpected discovery and space is something that always need to be explored. I’m so glad yall went out there I mean this was unbelivable. No one was expecting a nother planet.
