Subject: BREAKING NEWS: 10th Planet Discovered, Bigger than Pluto

Astronomers have discovered an object in our solar system that is larger
than Pluto. They are calling it the 10th planet, but already that claim
is contested.



It is the first time an object so big has been found in our solar system
since the discovery of Pluto 75 years ago.



The announcement came just hours after another newfound object, one
slightly smaller than Pluto, was revealed. The new object, temporarily
named 2003 UB313, is about three times as far from the Sun as is Pluto.



"It's definitely bigger than Pluto," Brown said.
