In praise of trans-Neptunian objects
Lisa and I caught The Pluto Files last night on NOVA, and we are in agreement that “dwarf planet” is a nice compromise term for Pluto and other similar trans-Neptunian objects.
I also think the stained-glass window memorializing Pluto’s discoverer Clyde Tombaugh (in a Universalist church, natch) is pretty cool.
