Giant New Dwarf Planet Candidate Found Beyond Pluto

Original: Big News: A Giant New Dwarf Planet Candidate May Be Hiding Beyond Pluto

Astronomers report that a large new dwarf planet candidate may be hiding in the distant reaches of the Solar System, beyond the orbit of Pluto. The candidate would rank among the biggest known bodies in the outer Solar System if confirmed. Details of its size, orbit and discovery remain sparse so far, and researchers will need further observations before it can be officially recognised as a dwarf planet by the International Astronomical Union.
