Dashagrahas ... ?
Ok ... I invented that term and I did not mean dashavatarams. What I meant was that another new planet has been discovered. It has not yet been named though. It was quite unfortunate that our forefathers who very surprisingly judged that there are 9 planets in the solar system could not feel the existence of a Tenth as astronomer Mike Brown and his team from CalTech seem to have found. Note though that the navagrahas don't represent only the planets. They actually represent Surya, Chandra, Mangala, Budha, Brihaspati(oh now you know where the third of the Trimurthis sits in our Hindu temples),Sukra, Sani, Rahu and Ketu(like Dhuma ketu or comet). Anyway, it has been interesting to find out about this. and here is more information on this planet which unfortunately is called UB313 - http://www.gps.caltech.edu/~mbrown/planetlila/index.html
