In a never-ending quest to provide you with startlingly good content, I um, used a search engine.
Okay, I was bored, and wanted to find out if I existed on google. I do, but there were other "huge mini"s before me. This is for them.
First up, Sedna. What, you may ask, is a Sedna? Well, Sedna is an object which orbits our sun, Sol, at 10,000 years per orbit. Which means you have to wait 9,999+ years for Christmas on Sedna. Which is why there are no kids there. They got bummed out and left long ago.
And the "huge mini" connection? Well, Sedna is almost as big as Pluto, which makes it a "huge mini-planet," according to Space.com. It might even have it's own moon.
Why haven't you heard about it? Because it isn't a planet, it is a "Kuiper Belt Object," which is what scientist guy calls anything beyond Pluto. Frankly, scientist guy wants Pluto re-classified as a Kuiper Belt Object and downgraded from planet status.
Scientist guy, find a way to cure cancer or something. Leave my planets alone.
Anyway, there you are. Sedna. A huge-mini something twice as far away as Pluto. Don't say I never gave you anything.
