Ananova - Solar system scientists discover planet-like body

The "planet-like" body? Eh, typical. They're calling in "Quaoar", which is apparently the name of a god of the Los Angeles Indians. It's smaller than Pluto (half the size according to another story) and located in the Kuiper Belt. It's the largest solar system member discovered since Pluto, but it's not a planet. Actually, an increasing number of astronomers don't think Pluto should count as one either.

The real story is that it was announced in Birmingham, where the American Astronomical Society is meeting. How could I have not known that?
