10th planet of Solar system has satellite
Zena which is supposedly the 10th planet of Solar system has a satellite. This was informed by a group of American astronauts under leadership of planet astronomy professor Michael Braun.
Braun?s crew discovered a satellite on September 10 in observatory. The information about this discovery will be published in "Letters to Astrophysical Journal". From Zena?s discovery there was a question if it has a satellite. - was said in his statement. - The presence of satellite is good because all "respected" planets have one.? Zena has an official name 2003UB313 but it was named by a crew in honor of television serial star. Just opened satellite was also named by another character of that serial - Gabriel. The orbit of Zena lies further that Pluto?s orbit in zone of small bodies known as Coper belt and is 45 degrees to ecliptic plane. The closest to Sun point of Zena orbit is situated 5.6 milliard kilometers from it, the most remote is on the distance of 14.5 milliard kilometers. Talking about Earth its orbit is about 150 millions away from Sun. The entire turn around Sun Zena makes during 560 of earth years against of 250 earth years Pluto needs. Zena is bigger than Pluto but its content is unknown. The discovery of satellite means that Zena has enough mass to hold satellite. An International astronomy union considers Zena as trans-Neptune object (its orbit crosses Neptune orbit).
