I love this kind of news. 
Two more planets in our Solar System, say astronomers - http://www.businessinsider.com/afp-two-more-planets-in-our-solar-system-say-astronomers-2015-1#ixzz3PNlAgp1f
Paris (AFP) - The Solar System has at least two more planets waiting to be discovered beyond the orbit of Pluto, Spanish and British astronomers say.
The official list of planets in our star system runs to eight, with gas giant Neptune the outermost.
Beyond Neptune, Pluto was relegated to the status of "dwarf planet" by the International Astronomical Union in 2006, although it is still championed by some as the most distant planet from the Sun.
In a study published in the latest issue of the British journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, researchers propose that "at least two" planets lie beyond Pluto.
Their calculations are based on the unusual orbital behaviour of very distant space rocks called extreme trans-Neptunian objects, or ETNOs.
I've lived a wonderful life, and wouldn't want to change a thing. But, I think it would be awesome to be able have another go at it and do even more. I'd love to come back and live my next live as an astronomer, or a professional tennis player, or doctor working in Africa fighting malaria, or...gosh the possibilities would be limitless and I'd like to do it all. After all is said and done, when we stop moaning about the difficulties and inconveniences in our lives, God has given us a wonderful world in which to live, and endless possibilities to do His will.
