Planet X!!!
It looks like we've got a tenth planet circling way out there, and it's at least as large as Pluto, probably much bigger. And no, it's not some wacked out relgious cult or desparate SF author making the claim. It was a JPL effort of computer analysis that turned it up.
I'm not that up on my Roman mythology, but who's left for naming planets after? Bacchus, Juno... maybe Proserpine would be more appropriate. Or maybe we'll get to visit Vulcan after all?

Ceres?

Ceres has already been taken by the largest asteroid in the belt. While it's not a planet, it nonetheless used up a name.
