5. -12-15-05 Oddball Object Discovered Beyond Neptune (ABC News)
   "A distant object named Buffy has been spotted circling the sun far beyond Neptune in a strange tilted orbit that is making some astronomers question how the outer reaches of the solar system formed."
   
   "Officially called 2004 XR 190 by the International Astronomical Union but code-named Buffy, the object is now about 58 times as far from the sun as Earth, and twice as far from the sun as Neptune."
   
   "The Kuiper Belt is a ring of space objects that may be remnants from the early solar system. Most of these objects orbit the sun between 30 and 50 times the distance that Earth orbits. The distance from Earth to the sun — 93 million miles — is known as one astronomical unit." 12-05

6. -12-15-05 Oddball Object Discovered Beyond Neptune (CFEPS)
   "Currently 58 astronomical units from the Sun (1 astronomical unit, or AU, is the distance between the Earth and the Sun), the new object never approaches closer than 50 AU, because its orbit is close to circular. Almost all Kuiper belt objects discovered beyond Neptune are between 30 AU and 50 AU away. Beyond 50 AU, the main Kuiper belt appears to end, and what few objects have been discovered beyond this distance have all been on very high eccentricity (non-circular) orbits." 12-05
