There's more on 2003 EL61 and an even larger body called 2003 UB313 at http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/050729_new_planet.html

This should shake planetary science up a bit.

Maybe its another target for the New Horizons spacecraft to fly past after it visits Pluto? This mission, launching in January, is going to Pluto then on to a KBO. The New Horizons mission website is pretty good -
