Discovery of first planet beyond Pluto by Dr. Michael Brown of CalTech.

On August 24, 2006 a group of astronomers meeting at a Prague session of the International Astronomical Union voted to classify this as a "dwarf planet."

Source Notes
It was on January 5, 2005, when astronomer Michael E. Brown of Caltech realized that he'd discovered what could well be the 10th planet, the Kuiper Belt object he
nicknamed "Xena." He was reviewing telescopic photos when he spotted the moving dot, and he thoughtfully noted the time: 11:20 a.m., because Dr. Brown "knew
that astrologers would ask."

This, according to today's New York Times online. Here's the link to the article: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/23/science/space/23profile.html

Please note that January 8 was first reported as the discovery date, but Dr. Brown says that was an error. January 5 is the correct date. He was in his Caltech office
(in Pasadena, I presume), so the chart data for this event would be January 5, 2005; 11:20 a.m. PST, zone 8; Pasadena, CA; 118W08'37", 34N08"52.

Also, the photos showing "Xena" were taken back in 2003, thus the official name 2003 UB313, but it wasn't until this past January that Dr. Brown realized the
photos showed a potential new planet.

It's not very often that an astronomer would think of us astrologers at a moment like this. For his thoughtfulness, perhaps we should give him a "Friend of
Astrology" award. Thank you, Michael E. Brown!
