New object deemed largest minor planet named '2001 KX76'. This new minor planet is estimated to measure between 1,200 and 1,400 kilometers (745 and 870 miles) in diameter.

This recently found mystery planet is half the size of Pluto and slightly larger than Pluto's moon Charon. It orbits the sun in a ring of primordial comets beyond the planets known as the Kuiper Belt.

      - Am I right to say that this 'Object, is Closing in on us at 20% Slightly Orbiting inwards?! - KRUX - 2/18/2002 6:11:47 PM
      - The info could be about prev. found gas giants in the h-zone, but with eccentric orbits. - Marcia - 12/23/2001 5:02:30 PM
