Could it be another Planet? Or the famed "Planet X"? Is it why the Mayan Calendar stops at 2012? Are we on a collision course, therefore, this planned "big announcement" by NASA?

If a large object in space was going to collide with Earth, causing complete devastation, would you want to know?

What would you do in your last years?

How about if it was a matter of a few days from now? Would you still want to know, and what would you do?

Never watch TV, therefore, didn't hear that announement. Did you find that on line somewhere? My Ex-boyfriend has been yacking about our world colliding with another for the past year and had told me it would happen some time mid summer of 2004! He's moving on down to lower forty eight from AK soon, and I figure it has something to do with that. What ever happens LIVE, LOVE & LAUGH! That's my motto.
Peace,
Kim

I've heard and read a bit about this probably 10 years ago! It reminds me of the "millennium meltdown". Don't know how much is supposedly true; it's most likely another one of those false prophecies someone cooked up to scare the begeezers out of everyone and send us all into a panic/riot.

But, who REALLY knows for sure?

It's a possible new planet!!!!!

Astronomers to Detail Aspects of Sedna

By ANDREW BRIDGES, AP Science Writer

LOS ANGELES - It is a frozen world more than 8 billion miles from Earth and believed to be the farthest known object within our solar system.

NASA planned a Monday press conference to offer more details about Sedna, a planetoid between 800 miles and 1,100 miles in diameter, or about three-quarters the size of Pluto.

Named for the Inuit goddess who created the sea creatures of the Arctic, Sedna lies more than three times farther from the sun than Pluto. It was discovered in November.

"The sun appears so small from that distance that you could completely block it out with the head of a pin," said Mike Brown, an astronomer at the California Institute of Technology who led the NASA-funded team that found Sedna.

That makes Sedna the largest object found orbiting the sun since the discovery of Pluto, the ninth planet, in 1930. It trumps in size another world, called Quaoar, discovered by the same team in 2002.

Brown and his colleagues estimate the temperature on Sedna never rises above 400 degrees below zero Fahrenheit, making it the coldest known body in the solar system.

Sedna follows a highly elliptical path around the sun, a circuit that it takes 10,500 years to complete. Its orbit loops out as far as 84 billion miles from the sun, or 900 times the distance between the Earth and our star.

Brown and Chad Trujillo, of the Gemini Observatory in Hawaii, and David Rabinowitz, of Yale University, discovered Sedna on Nov. 14, 2003, using a 48-inch telescope at Caltech's Palomar Observatory east of San Diego.

Within days, other astronomers around the world trained their telescopes, including the recently launched Spitzer Space Telescope, on the object.

The team also have indirect evidence a tiny moon may trail Sedna, which is redder than all other known solar system bodies except Mars.

I wonder if this could be the Pan-Horus that Linda predicted? She said that Pan-Horus would be the 10th planet outside Pluto after all.

My cappy ex-husband said linda was crazy for believing in an extra planet. I always believed, Glad to see i was right lol. As for the name well astronemers are finaly being agreeable to the new planet, Can't expect them to be all agreeable about the name too. After all It's thier new discovery never mind people already knew it existed.
