2003 UB313 needs a better name

Scientists found what may be considered the 10th planet in our solar system, a Kuiper Belt object larger than Pluto, which they've called 2003 UB313.

The folks naming our products at work must share common ancestry with these guys.

"It can't get an official name until it has an official status and right now it doesn't have an official status, so it can't get a name," he said.

2003 UB313 lies 97 astronomical units away from the sun. TV reception must be awful out there.
