	Planet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Uranian planets, or ice giants, are a sub-class of gas giants, distinguished from true Jovians by their depletion in hydrogen and helium and a significant composition of rock and ice.
		The planet, a gas giant slightly larger than Jupiter, orbits the main star of the HD 188753 system, in the constellation Cygnus, and is hence known as HD 188753 Ab.
		Smaller terrestrial planets lose most of their atmospheres due to this accretion, but the lost gases can be replaced by outgassing from the mantle and from the subsequent impact of comets.

	Planet
		All the currently accepted planets in the solar system are named after Roman gods, except for Uranus (named after a Greek god) and the Earth, which was not seen as a planet by the ancients but rather the centre of the universe.
		No interstellar planet is known to date, but their existence is considered a likely hypothesis based on computer simulations of the origin and evolution of planetary systems, which often include the ejection of bodies of significant mass.
		Phoenix Planet - was one of the earlier names for the discovered pulsar planets, as in a possibility of rising from the ashes of the supernova's dust.

	What is PLANET?
		Continous PLANET observations of this effect resulted in a measurement of the limb-darkening, or dimming of the light coming from edges of the stellar surface, for the first time in a star so distant.
		Microlensing monitoring is also a powerful means of searching for extra-solar planets: just as with binary lenses, the caustic patterns arising from the complicated lens geometry of a planetary system can induce sharp peaks (few hours to few days) in the microlensing light curve.
		With the beginning of the 2005 season, PLANET is joining forces with the UK-operated robotic telescope network RoboNet1.0 performing microlensing observations at the Liverpool 2.0m (La Palma, Canary Islands, Spain) and the Faulkes North 2.0m (Maui, Hawaii, USA) as well as the Faulkes South 2.0m (Siding Spring, Australia) as soon as it becomes operational.

	Smallest Extrasolar Planet Found - Planetary News \| The Planetary Society
		The vast majority of the extrasolar planets discovered so far have been detected by the spectroscopic method -- the slight changes in the light spectrum of a star as it wobbles to the tug of an orbiting planet.
		If a planet is positioned close enough to the lensing star so that it crosses one of the two light streams emanating from the source star, the planet's own gravity bends the light stream and temporarily produces a third image of the source star.
		For planet hunters, such spikes are the telltale signs of the presence of a planet.

	SPACE.com -- Two Neptune-Mass Planets Found, Earth-Size Worlds Next
		Planet hunters have found two worlds roughly the mass of Neptune, each orbiting a star within 30 light-years of our solar system.
		The planets are likely gaseous or mixtures of ice and rock, but they might be barren rock worlds like Mercury.
		The planets were found using a Doppler-shift method that notes a wobble in a star caused by the gravity of the orbiting planet.

	Pluto (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Pluto is usually farther from the Sun than any of the nine planets; however, due to the eccentricity of its orbit, it is closer than Neptune for 20 years out of its 249 year orbit.
		Although it is common for a satellite to travel in a synchronous orbit with its planet, Pluto is the only planet to rotate synchronously with the orbit of its satellite.
		The map, which covers 85% of the planet's surface, confirms that Pluto has a dark equatorial belt and bright polar caps, as inferred from ground-based light curves obtained during the mutual eclipses that occurred between Pluto and its satellite Charon in the late 1980s.

	NASA - NASA-Funded Scientists Discover Tenth Planet
		The planet was discovered using the Samuel Oschin Telescope at Palomar Observatory near San Diego, Calif. The discovery was announced today by planetary scientist Dr. Mike Brown of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, Calif., whose research is partly funded by NASA.
		The planet is a typical member of the Kuiper belt, but its sheer size in relation to the nine known planets means that it can only be classified as a planet, Brown said.
		A name for the new planet has been proposed by the discoverers to the International Astronomical Union, and they are awaiting the decision of this body before announcing the name.

	NASA - 10th Planet Discovered
		The planet, which hasn't been officially named yet, was found by Brown and colleagues using the Samuel Oschin Telescope at Palomar Observatory near San Diego.
		This places the new planet more or less in the Kuiper Belt, a dark realm beyond Neptune where thousands of small icy bodies orbit the sun.
		The planet was discovered by, in addition to Brown, Chad Trujillo, of the Gemini Observatory in Mauna Kea, Hawaii, and David Rabinowitz, of Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut.

	SPACE.com -- Object Bigger than Pluto Discovered, Called 10th Planet
		This time-lapse image of a newfound planet in our solar system, called 2003UB313, was taken on Oct. 21, 2003, using the Samuel Oschin Telescope at the Palomar Observatory near San Diego, Calif. The planet, circled in red, is seen moving across a field of stars.
		The debate actually stretches back more than five years and is rooted in the fact that astronomers have never had a definition for the word "planet," because the nine we knew seemed obvious.
		The reflectiveness of the new planet is not known, however, which is why the estimate of its diameter ranges from one to two times the size of Pluto.

	New Planet
		The dwarf planet is the most distant object ever seen in orbit around the sun, even more distant than Sedna, the planetoid discovered almost 2 years ago.
		Such a measurement is possible by measuring the mass of the planet by looking at the way its moon goes around it and then dividing this mass by the volume (which we know because we know the size).
		The new planet is on an orbit that could be described in similar terms; half of the time it is in the vicinity of Pluto and half of the time much further away.

		Planet, but none compare to the evil that is Zarm, an alien being defeated by Gaia long ago.
		In the intro to the show, while the theme song plays, each of the planeteers demonstrates their special abilities, reminding the viewer of exactly who they are.

	Much ado about Pluto
		It is the only planetary orbit which crosses that of another planet (Neptune), and it is tilted 17 degress with respect to the plane of the solar system.

		It seems that Pluto is a sentimental favorite to remain a planet among both scientists and the public.

	The Seattle Times: Nation & World: New definition boots Pluto from exclusive planet club
		In a stunning reversal, astronomers who were ready to expand the solar system's number of planets by three last week voted to shrink it Thursday instead, stripping Pluto of its status as a planet.
		Pluto, which was discovered in 1930 and survived several swipes at its stature over the years, has been given a new label: "dwarf planet," a separate and lesser category of solar-system resident.
		In addition to Pluto, the members of the new "dwarf" group are Ceres, the largest asteroid in the solar system, and 2003 UB313, a recently discovered Pluto-size orb that holds the record as the most distant object orbiting the sun.
