Scientists may have discovered the solar system's most distant object,
more than three times farther away from the sun than Pluto.
The object -- about 8 billion miles (12.8 billion kilometers) from Earth --
has been given the provisional name of Sedna, after the Inuit goddess who
created sea creatures of the Arctic.
