Pluto has 3 satellites. It is still considered a Kuiper belt object isn’t it? 3 is more than 2 right? I’m just saying.

Cold and only quick glimpses of the sun? Sounds like Alaska

That’s pretty awesome! According to the diagram, the Kuiper Belt is on the same plane as the planets, right? So, Pluto is still just kinda doing it’s own thing? I think the Oort Cloud is pretty interesting and mysterious, too.

Talk about interesting I wonder if sciencists know how fast the object is circling or if they know how to measure it?

Was there any mention of 4 elephants on the back of a tortoise? Perhaps we have discovered Disc World!

Although I can understand avoiding standard news media, which seem to strive more for entertainment than accurate information, the idea of coming to the floss for news is novel.

This is where I go to discover amazing facts. Most of the cosmic stuff happened millions of years ago. For up-to-the-minute coverage of what was going on a few thousand years ago, check out the Astrophysical Journal.

This is very interesting, and I didn’t know about it, but even cursory research suggests that this isn’t NEWS, as such. Haumea was discovered more than five years ago, even if it was only named as such in September 2008.
