title: On the astronomy front, two

On the astronomy front, two articles on a massive tenth planet or brown dwarf inferred orbiting our sun, [one from the BBC](http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_467000/467572.stm), and [one from MSNBC](http://www.msnbc.com/news/320182.asp). Inferring is all we'll be able to do until the next-generation infrared orbital telescope is launched. We just don't have anything that could see it right now.
