Hallo!

(CNN) - The unexpected size of a recently discovered body beyond Pluto has scientists wondering if even larger objects lurk in the depths of the solar system
...
Varuna could be the first of many such discoveries, predicted Tegler and a colleague in an editorial entitled 'Almost Planet X' in the May 24 issue of the Nature.
...
More Kuiper Belt surprises may await astronomers after space shuttle astronauts deploy an infrared telescope facility in 2002. The instrument is expected to provide more precise measurements of objects in the distant solar system.
