Hum,
They do seem to have spotted the most distant object orbiting the sun...
It`s about 1/3 the size of the earth, 3 billion kilometres further away from the Sun than Pluto.
This object has been provisionally named "Sedna", after the Inuit goddess of the sea.
Measurements suggest that Sedna has a diameter of more than 1,200 miles, making it the biggest find in the solar system since Pluto was discovered 74 years ago.
The official NASA announcement will be made at 1800 UTC 15th March.
Spot on. You win the first prize.
KennyR gets runner up prize for also being right, but very much less specific.
