Scientific paper

Last October, Charles T. Kowal of the Haie Observatories in Pasadena, California, found a new planet in the solar system. Comparing two plates from the 48-inch Palomar Schmidt telescope in a blink microscope, he noticed a small trail of a moving 18th-magnitude object. From these plates and others wh ich were obtained on the following nights, it soon became obvious that the new planet had an exceptionally slow motion. At opposition the motion of a planet is inversely proportional to the distance and a first estimate put 1977 UB (as it was designated) at about the distance of Uranus, almost 3,000 million kilometres away.
