Sedna the Dwarf Planet Flag
The red planet from afar whose yearly trip around the sun lasts about 11,400 years. It was discovered on November 14, 2003. It was discovered by an Alabama native - Mike Brown. The last time this planet came close to our humble abode is when wooly mammoths roamed the earth.
The flag of Sedna uses the colours red, blue, and white. The name of Sedna is written in a Native Canadian Inuit script known as Inuktitut, which would be read a 'Sanna' instead of Sedna.
Sedna or Sanna is the Inuit (Eskimo) Goddess of the Sea and marine animals. Since planet Sedna is so far away it is assumed to be very cold just like the arctic. However relative to Sedna, earths polar regions are flaming hot spots in our solar system. The Goddess Sedna would probably find the planet Sedna too cold.

This 'dwarf planet' it approaching its closest point to earth, the last time it was at a 'close' approach to earth was during the Upper Paleolithic period.
Normally I don't like writing on flags, but I feel that the Inuktitut script is too beautiful not to have on a flag. Great design!
