13434 Pluto
Revision as of 21:46, 22 June 2006 by GW Simulations (talk | contribs) (S/2005 P1 -> Hydra, S/2005 P2 -> Nix)
Pluto is the controversial ninth planet in the solar system; many astronomers think that it should be reclassified as a minor planet, trans-neptunian object, icy dwarf or merely the largest of the Plutinos. It has three natural satellites: Charon is the largest, and two smaller ones, Hydra and Nix, have only recently been discovered.
Pluto is not included in the standard Orbiter distribution, but an addon can be downloaded from Orbithangar.
