In October, the same scientists from the California Institute of Technology found a dim moon orbiting Xena. At 20% larger than Pluto, Xena, which will get a permanent name later, has all the makings of a real planet. But just as its TV alter ego wasn't always recognized as a full warrior, the heavenly Xena has yet to be declared a planet -- a matter of heated debate in the astronomical community.

Maybe that was why a lot of astrological predictions were off--they didnt know about the 10th planet. Now that they do, it should become a science...the predictions will be better.
