Me too, but no one's saying for sure that we can class it as a tenth planet just yet.

It's only exciting if they give it a shiny name.

Keep shiny!

Five years from now 4th grade students will be learning all about Planet Bob. (Ok, 10 because that's how long it'll take schools to order new textbooks).

And yes, that IS actually a Whedon reference :).

But... let's hope for something a little shinier.

I like Bob, it is a TITANic name.

And that name should be Persephone.

And please let there be someone who knows why that should be the case...and it is not a Firefly reference.

You'd think it would have made more sense to name Pluto's moon Persephone...

I say we call it Setia Alpha 5. And then maroon someone on it.
