WHAT'S IN THE NEWS: SOLITARY SEDNA

Its official name is 2003 VB12, but the popular name, Sedna, is far more 
fitting
for the recently discovered object at the far fringes of our solar system.
Depending on one's definition of a planet, Sedna is either the long-sought 10th 

planet or a Kuiper Belt object. What's not in dispute is that Sedna is the
coldest, most distant object ever seen. According to the latest edition of
"What's in the News," a current events show produced for schoolchildren by Penn 

State Public Broadcasting, the goddess for whom Sedna is named could surely
relate. Legend has it that Sedna was once a beautiful Inuit woman, but was
tricked into marrying a sea bird that lived on a remote Arctic island. A failed 

escape attempt ended with Sedna becoming a mermaid.
