Two sizable TNO discoveries in the early 2000s prompted media usage of the term "tenth planet," although there has not been tremendous appetite for their elevation to planethood in the scientific community. 50000 Quaoar was discovered in 2002 by California Institute of Technology scientists. Although significantly smaller than Pluto, Quaoar was the next-largest TNO by a considerable margin at the time of its discovery.
Another object, 90377 Sedna, was discovered in 2004, at the time the most distant known object in the solar system. It is speculated to be an inner member of the Oort cloud, which is a distant reservoir of comets created when most of the original population of the Kuiper belt was scattered by the outer planets early in the history of the solar system. Sedna is believed to be intermediate in size between Pluto and Quaoar.

Even if "the tenth planet" were really a planet, it would only be the ninth planet because Pluto clearly is not a planet.

look over a itemizing of gods, retaining far off from the overused Greco-Romans, and %. and choose. For a pair of my SF thoughts I had Elodea (Semitic El=god + Latin dea=goddess), Tien Hua (new heaven in chinese language), Nouvelle Normaundie; and in yet another tale a detention center planet become named Shayol. And a planet settled by potential of a %. of religious lunatics become named God's effective Warriors.

Are you talking about Sedna? The one after pluto. They think that may be a planet but it also may be a moon.
