2003 UB313: A Tenth Planet?
A newly discovered object, 2003 UB313, located more than twice Pluto's distance, is expected to be at least as large as Pluto, possibly larger. Its dimness and highly tilted orbit prevented earlier discovery. Many astronomers speculate that other icy objects larger than Pluto exist in the Kuiper Belt. This discovery fueled the debate over what constitutes a planet.
