'10th planet' has moon companion

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4304048.stm

Now with all the disputation that it is not a planet how can it have a moon?So does this mean it is a planet? :erm:

Re: '10th planet' has moon companion

Apparently not, according to that article. Venus and Mercury don't have moons.

I'm confused about this 10th planet now. When they announced it in July I thought it was confirmation of a 'planet' discovered beyond Pluto IIRC last year and dubbed 'Sedna'. Now this new planet is being called 'Xena' but this is still only a temporary code name.

What happened to Sedna?
