Roll Over, Pluto
Astronomers have discovered a new Kuiper Belt Object which may turn out to be even larger than Quaoar, the mini-world discovered over a year ago. In fact, the new object may turn out to be even larger than Pluto's moon, Charon (pronounced like the girl's name, though I'm not sure which one). The object, currently labeled 2004 DW, will doubtless provide more ammo for those that argue that Pluto is not a planet, but rather just an exceptionally large KBO.
