Default Any news on 2003UB313?

A few weeks ago I saw a report on 2003UB313 saying that the infrared
Spitzer(sp) telescope was mispointed when used to detect or not
2003UB313. And that they're were going to try again. Haven't heard if
a detection was seen, how big and so on. A "no detect" was used to
establish an upper limit on 2003UB313's diameter, but that was with
data from the mis-pointed observation.

Any news if they did detect 2003UB313 and if they did what size
2003UB313 would be?

Well, a news story from the Associated Press, appearing on the Yahoo!
web site and quoted in alt.gossip.celebrities says it now has a moon.
