| N.B. Press reporting (Independent 8/10/02) describes the discovery of a new planet. Quaoar (pronounced Kwah-o-whar) measures 800 miles in diameter and is a billion miles outside Pluto, orbiting the sun once every 288 years. Although the biggest mass found in our solar system since the discovery of Pluto in 1930 it is too small to be described as a planet. The name Quaoar comes from an "ordering force" in Native American religion. | ||
