Doesn't sound as those it is going to be nearly big enough to classify as a
planet. If so, it had better be at least as big as Pluto... Orion "Jose Suro" wrote in message m...

Best, JAS You sure it's not Sedona? I think I saw something about it on a New Age spa brochure about four years ago. I can't remember much about it but that it was allegedly "out of this world". |

The object being announced Monday is not 2004 DW.
Here's a quote from Jim Scotti on the Minor Planet Mail List: "Actually, the object that is to be announced is most decidedly not 2004 DW, but another object on a very different orbit. Dr. Brown gave a talk here at LPL a couple weeks ago where he showed us images of this new object (as well as telling us about the discovery of 2004 DW) and described briefly what he knew of it at the time and of some of the implications of its existance. Trust me, it is a unique object in our inventory, nothing like any other object we've ever seen, but probably not the only one of its kind." Sounds quite interesting and, if it really is cruising the inner Oort Cloud as has been suggested in an HST tasking document, may well be larger than Earth.

There's been a lot of unreliable information going around about this.
