What they found sparked a philosophical debate that questioned the way science is done and may - or may not - have revealed one of the greatest robberies in modern-day astronomy. José Luis Ortiz Moreno and Pablo Santos-Sanz announced the discovery of what turned out to be the same dwarf planet. But before they could go public with their finding - as they were dotting their scientific i’s - a lesser-known team of Spanish astronomers beat them to the punch. On December 28, 2004, CalTech astronomer Mike Brown and his colleagues found an unnamed dwarf planet drifting through the far reaches of the solar system. This episode features a genre of story that I love: a space story - about a battle between astronomers over a somewhat unassuming rock. The show tackles unsolved mysteries, untold histories and other wild stories from the internet.
