"He adds that dusty discs have been seen around other stars and tend to
be big, with diameters of up to 3000 AU. "It's rare to find a compact
disc like the Kuiper Belt," he told New Scientist. "Instead of trying
to explain why ours is different, I thought: what if it isn't?"

Stern says Sedna was probably born in a circular orbit, possibly as far
away as 500 AU. But he agrees with other astronomers who say that a
passing star or unseen planet must have knocked it into its current,
elongated trajectory, which stretches from about 75 to 900 AU.

The simulations suggest many hundreds of objects like Sedna may have
formed at those distances. Stern admits that finding the extremely
faint objects will be incredibly hard, but says his theory would be
bolstered if deep surveys turned up far-distant objects in circular
orbits."

"where we come from, sometimes, beauty
floats around us like clouds
the way leaves rustle in the breeze
and cornbread and barbecue swing out the backdoor
and tease all our senses as the sun goes down.

dreams and memories rest by fences
Texas accents rev up like our engines
customized sparkling powerful as the arms
that hold us tightly black n fragrant
reminding us that once we slept and loved
to the scents of magnolia"
