ಪ್ಲುಟೊ	Beginning in 1992, astronomers began to discover a large population of small icy objects beyond Neptune that were similar to Pluto not only in orbit but also in size and composition. This belt, known as the Kuiper belt after one of the astronomers who first speculated on the nature of a trans-Neptunian population, is believed to be the source of many short-period comets. ಖಗೋಳಶಾಸ್ತ್ರಜ್ಞರ ಪ್ರಸ್ತುತದ ನಂಬಿಕೆಯ ಪ್ರಕಾರ, ಪ್ಲೂಟೊ ತಿಳಿದಿರುವ ಕೈಪರ್ ಪಟ್ಟಿ ಕಾಯಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಅತಿ ದೊಡ್ಡದು. ಬೇರೆ ಕೈಪರ್ ಪಟ್ಟಿ ಕಾಯಗಳಂತೆ, ಪ್ಲುಟೊ ಸಹ ಧೂಮಕೇತುಗಳ ಹಲವು ಗುಣಲಕ್ಷಣ ಗಳನ್ನು ಹೊಂದಿದೆ; ಉದಾಹರಣೆಗೆ, ಸೌರ ಮಾರುತವು ಪ್ಲೂಟೊದ ಮೇಲ್ಮೈಯನ್ನು ನಿಧಾನವಾಗಿ ಧೂಳೆಬ್ಬಿಸಿ ಬಾಹ್ಯಾಕಾಶಕ್ಕೆ ಬೀಸುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಧೂಮಕೇತುಗಳಲ್ಲೂ ಇದೇ ಥರದ ಪ್ರಕ್ರಿಯೆಯು ನಡೆಯುತ್ತದೆ. ಪ್ಲೂಟೊ ಸೂರ್ಯನ ಹತ್ತಿರವಿದ್ದಿದ್ದರೆ ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಧೂಮಕೇತುಗಳಂತೆಯೇ ಒಂದು ಬಾಲ ವಿರುತ್ತಿತ್ತು.

His other claim is that because less than five percent of astronomers voted for it, the decision was not representative of the entire astronomical community. Marc W. Buie of the Lowell observatory has voiced his opinion on the new definition on his website and is one of the petitioners against the definition. Others have supported the IAU. Mike Brown, the astronomer who discovered Eris, said "through this whole crazy circus-like procedure, somehow the right answer was stumbled on. It’s been a long time coming. Science is self-correcting eventually, even when strong emotions are involved."
ಪ್ಲುಟೊ	Observations of Neptune in the late 19th century caused astronomers to speculate that Uranus' orbit was being disturbed by another planet in addition to Neptune. In 1905, Percival Lowell, a wealthy Bostonian who had founded the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona in 1894, started an extensive project in search of a possible ninth planet, which he termed "Planet X". Lowell's hope in tracking down Planet X was to establish his scientific credibility, which had been dented by his widely derided belief that channel-like features visible on the surface of Mars were in fact canals constructed by an intelligent civilisation. By 1909, Lowell and William H. Pickering had suggested several possible celestial coordinates for such a planet. Lowell and his observatory conducted his search from 1905 until his death in 1916, but to no avail. Lowell's disappointment at not locating Planet X, according to one friend, "virtually killed him".
ಪ್ಲುಟೊ	Once found, Pluto's faintness and lack of a resolvable disc cast doubt on the idea that it could be Lowell's Planet X. Throughout the mid-20th century, estimates of Pluto's mass were often revised downward. In 1978, the discovery of Pluto's moon Charon allowed the measurement of Pluto's mass for the first time. Its mass, roughly 0.2 percent that of the Earth, was far too small to account for the discrepancies in Uranus. Subsequent searches for an alternate Planet X, notably by Robert Harrington, failed. In 1993, Myles Standish used data from "Voyager 2"'s 1989 flyby of Neptune, which had revised the planet's total mass downward by 0.5 percent, to recalculate its gravitational effect on Uranus. With the new figures added in, the discrepancies, and with them the need for a Planet X, vanished. Today the overwhelming consensus among astronomers is that Planet X, as Lowell defined it, does not exist. Lowell had made a prediction of Planet X's position in 1915 that was fairly close to Pluto's actual position at that time; however, Ernest W. Brown concluded almost immediately that this was a coincidence, a view still held today.
