[QUOTE]Originally posted by Krenim: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [qb] I got the joke, it just seems an odd choice for a name- it [i]is[/i] larger than Pluto after all: [i]hardly[/i] a golden apple.[/qb][/QUOTE]It's size is precisely why it is a golden apple. Pluto is only considered a planet today because astronomers were really ignorant about the outer solar system when it was discovered. We know now there are countless objects out there, similar in composition to Pluto and about the same size. 2003 UP<font size=-2>313</font> is simply the first one found that is bigger than Pluto. There could be many others. This discovery [i]should[/i] actually be considered more proof that we only have eight planets, not ten or more. [/QB][/QUOTE]
