2. Kutsuyanko
Kutsuyanko is a new planet that was discovered by a
Japanese Astronomer, Kashino Makoto. It is a new planet
near Neptune. He tried to learn more about it, and once he
did he told his team about it. There was one problem that
was hard to do. He could not find a good name for the
planet. So, his team helped him choose a name, and after
so many guesses they named it Kutsuyanko. In Japanese
Kutsu means shoe, and Yanko is not a word in japanese,
but to them it meant cat. So, in other words the meaning of
Kutsuyanko is The God Of Shoes And Cats. After it was
named, the news slowly was spreading all over the world.
3. What is Kutsuyanko?
Kutsuyanko is a new planet that is between Neptune and
Pluto. The size of Kutsuyanko is almost the size of
Neptune. The colors of Kutsuyanko is White, Gray and
Blue. It is made of Gas, and its mass is very light. It is
also very slow at orbiting. It takes 210 years to orbit
around the sun, once. The temperature is always cold in
Kutsuyanko. Kutsuyanko also has a moon. The moon is
about the size as our moon. You cannot live on
Kutsuyanko. The structure of it from inside is very cool.
First, it has a gassy surface. Then, it has a frozen
nitrogen. Next, it has water ice, and in the middle, rock.

5. Why didn't we notice it
before?
Some people say that if Kutsuyanko was always up there, then
why didn't we notice it before? Well, the answer is simple.
Kutsuyanko was not discovered with the other planets because
Kustsuyanko was not there when the other planets were
discovered. This is because Kutsuyanko was some where in the
solar system like some other planets that did not orbit around our
sun. Kutsuyanko was probably orbiting around another sun when
the sun exploded and sent Kutsuyanko drifting into space. Then,
after a long time, it went past Pluto and its orbit, and then got
stuck in between Neptune and Pluto, because our sun was pulling
it. After some time it also got its own orbit. So, now it was
possible to see it from Earth, so if someone like the Japanese
Astronomer was looking up in the solar system, he would
discover it very soon. And that is how Kutsuyanko was
6. Michato
The name of the Moon is Michato. It is about
the same size as our moon, but it is a little
different than ours. The diffrence is simple to
spot. If you look at this picture you will see it:
See, only the color and some
holes are different. On Earth the
moon causes the Tides, but
because we don't have any tides here, the
Michato causes the lines on Kutsuyanko move.
7. What will we do with it?
Some countries are saying that we should
just do more research about it and try to go
there, to find something interesting. Other
people say that we should teach little kids
more about it and give the planet a special
certificate and the person who found it.
But, who knows, any thing can happen
next.......?
