  • At the edge of the solar system, far beyond Pluto, a mysterious collection of worlds can be found, worlds that you may have never heard of before, that have only been discovered in the last few decades or so. These are the solar system's potential dwarf planets as seen by the Hubble space telescope and other ground-based telescopes. Come with me, as we travel beyond the major planets and into the mysterious region that is the Kuiper belt and discover the solar system's forgotten planets.

    The New Horizons flyby was especially useful because it enabled a close-up study of two dwarf planets since Pluto and Charon are more a binary pair than a primary and its moon. All the main planets with moons have the centre of gravity of the planet-moon system within the planet. The centre of gravity of the Pluto-Charon system is outside the surface of Pluto, that is, between the two binary bodies.

      Correct. Which means that both Pluto and Charon orbit around an invisible spot where their center of gravity is located.

      As for Eris and co... I had heard of Charon, Make-Make and some of the others which my memory now sadly denies ...but these 'new ones' are completely unknown, & probably will also be forgotten, as being nearly 71 (in August '24) now, I have had a long time to remember planets 1 to 8, or 9...

    I would not be surprised if a Moon, Mercury or Mars sized object is eventually located in or beyond the Scattered Disk. If such a large and massive body existed in the Kuiper Belt, it's presence would have been detected long ago. But if one or more of them are lurking 100 A.U. from the Sun if not several times farther out, they could still be as yet hidden worlds yet to be discovered.

    So if our sun is a dwarf star and it's habitability range is over a 100 million miles, then it's safe to assume that a star 10 times the size of the sun, theoretically could have a range of over a billion miles. And the stars....so many options. There could be systems out there that harbor life, billions of miles from its center.

    The strange thing about the rings of Quaoar is that they aren't actually next to eachother. The imagery shown is about how far the inner ring is, but the outer one around twice as far away.
    Also, astronomical "red" is more likely a darker beige tone, more orangish yellow rather than truly red.

    If the motive for demoting Pluto was that, with all these new, similar-sized objects being discovered, it would force them all to be classified as "planets" and lead to hundreds of these "planets", then, with multitudes of these now-reclassified "dwarf planets" being discovered, does that not render the original re-classification of these objects totally pointless? Now, you don't have a hundred "planets" - you have 8 planets and 100 "DWARF planets". So what was the point? You now only have 8 "planets", but you STILL now have the same 100 other celestial objects you did before. THESE just get a slightly different designation. Does not compute.
    ALSO, if a "planet" or "Dwarf Planet" has to be (approximately round, Arrakoth is totally out of either classification, because it is not even CLOSE to "round". Guess we need another new classification. Might I suggest "Wierdly-Shaped Space Thingies"?

    Don't forget the planet Llangison, discovered by Welsh astronomist Gwilam Parry-Jones in 1954 just before sector 8f of the Milky way. Unusually it changes shape depending in which season it is, due to the magnetic forces of its moon Llanigiron which should really be the planet as it is bigger. Due to its molecular composition it's classed as a moon. Parry-Jones and his team did visit the planet in 1974 but had to return as the couldn't land as its surface was very soft and were worried they wouldn't be able to take off again. They did bring back some ground samples and found it was made from Opel Fruit sweets. So our moon is made of cheese, it's amazing how many celestial bodies are made of food, and don't forget our sun is made from Tango fizzy orange.
