From the perspective of PhysicsWeb: Kuiper Belt Objects 2003 UB313and 2003 EL61
Ref: http://physicsweb.org/articles/news/9/8/1/1
Astronomers may have discovered the tenth planet in our solar system -- the first since Pluto 75 years ago. "2003 UB313", as it is currently called, is about 97 times further away from the Sun than the Earth -- more than twice as far away as Pluto. However, it remains to be seen if the astronomical community will accept 2003 UB313 as a fully fledged planet as many astronomers argue that Pluto itself is not a proper planet.
