I like Hades as a choice especially as it is so far out from the sun. :tu:

Well all I can say looking at what we have come up with, that it's just as well it's not up to us... :D

Possibly because it, and also Pluto, should be considered as Kuiper Belt Objects rather than true planets; definitely B list astronomical bodies.

From what I've read, that is a minority opinion amongst astronomers. Sedna (if indeed that is what it's eventually called) was announced a couple of years ago but they waited until all the arguing was over before confirming it as a planet. It is a planet, as is Pluto (which is a smaller body).

As long as I don't become a persecuted minority. (Not that I'm an astronomer.) :)

As you say, it's larger than Pluto. As astrology seems to pay no attention to the distance of a planet from Earth, I await with interest to see how they intend to handle this one. They seem to have managed to incorporate Pluto into astrology without any problem.

Funny that. Or perhaps the fact that no-one has been taking account of Sedna up until now is the reason why horoscopes are useless? :D

I think I read somewhere that some crazy American woman is trying to sue Nasa for crashing a probe into a comet, fractionally altering its trajectory and thereby mucking up her horoscope ... :spin:

I've just googled on +sedna +astrology and got 10,000 hits!
