| | New Planet, Sedna | | | Scientists have discovered a new world further out than Pluto, it's been called Sedna, after an Inuit god. The name will almost certainly change to fit in with the other planets. A debate is ranging as to whether it is a planet or a meteor. However, this debate might come to a head soon because a moon is believed to be circling it. For more on this, visit http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/3515658.stm As it is nearly three time further out than Pluto, it begs the question as to whether there are other planetoids in between and just how many planets there are in our system. | | | Galaxy's Largest Diamond | | | The Galaxy's largest diamond has been found in the Centaurus constellation. It is the remains of a white dwarf that has solidified. It is estimated to be worth 10 billion trillion carats and its diameter just more than a third of the Earth. Nicknamed Lucy after the woman in the Beatles song 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds'. It was discovered by Harvard-Smithsonian Centrefor Astrophysics.
