10,500 years to complete an orbit? Jeez... like we are gonna see that planet for eons...
this is really very interesting. (at least for weirdos like me.)

I thought I remembered hearing about this thing like 15 years ago...maybe that was Pluto.

Although JPL does not want to admit it, Pluto and Sedna are actually stray moons that happen to get caught in a heliocentric orbit... The story continues...
but pluto has enough gravitational force of its own to have a moon itself. but i do agree that a planet should be something of a definite size and shape. anything less should be considered a planetissimal (sp?). similarly how we discern a planet from a star, ie. a star is (or once was in a lot of cases) much bigger, gaseous, gives off a helluvalotta heat, etc.
