  Sedna - Crystalinks
Sedna is described as a cold planetoid, perhaps as large as two-thirds the size of Pluto.
Sedna was discovered during a survey conducted with the Samuel Oschin telescope at Palomar Observatory near San Diego, California (USA) and was observed within days on telescopes from Chile, Spain, and the USA (Arizona, and Hawaii).
Sedna's discoverers (like others) call it a planetoid, but because the two objects are similar in size and composition, a permanent decision to classify Sedna as a planetoid could re-open questions about whether Pluto should also bear that classification.
