A frozen pink world, lurking in the far reaches of the solar system, has been nicknamed Biden after the American vice-president.
The planet, which is seven and a half billion miles from the Sun, was found by astronomers searching an area of space beyond Pluto.
Although it won't officially be named for a while, dwarf plant '2012 VP113' is being referred to as VP, or Biden, by scientists as they continue their research.
