Should the Pluto flyby mission visit this mysterious object? What do you
guys think. Is it even possible?


This was just asked at the press conference.

Sedna is about opposite Pluto in the sky right now, so no,
it can't happen on the Pluto mission.

BUT the survey has only searched 15% of the sky, and over the next five
years
they expect to find other objects LIKE Sedna, including possibly some of
them
on Pluto's side of the Solar system.

I'm not questioning if you are correct about the above, but where did the
above information come from? I would like to find out more on the program
to search for other planet like objects.

Thanks,
