New Dwarf Planets, Eris, Sedna, Centaurs & More

 

The International Astronomical Union (IAU) reclassified our solar system and it's bodies. Twice. First in 2006 with the infamous "What is a Planet?" declaration, they classified Ceres, Pluto, Charon and Eris (and maybe Sedna) as dwarf planets. Mid 2008, with Mercury retrograde in Gemini, the interim planet definition declaration succumbed to revised definitions of dwarf planets (now only Ceres) and Plutoids of which Pluto and Eris are the only two. Lost in the mix were former dwarf planet Charon, Makemake and the possible dwarf planet Sedna. No matter. They did the last word mix with Mercury backing talkwards. It'll change again, especially with the celestial rumor mill abuzz about large undiscovered bodies out there yet to be reported in the Kuiper Belt/Oort Cloud.

 

Some NASA articles refer to the Plutoids as a sub grouping of Dwarf Planets, a far more desirable considerations.

 

Below you'll find keywords provide basic delineation clues for the named Planets Centaurs, Scattered Disk Objects (SDO's or SKBO's) and Trans-Neptunian Objects (also KBO's or the Kuiper Belt Objects, and also EKBO's or EKO's - Edgeworth-Kuiper Objects). This list will be updated as these bodies orbits receive definition, and after that, names. It might be worth noting that I proposed the names for Thereus and Elatus, which were later approved by the astronomical community. As well, I co-contributed the name Cyllarus. There were many astrologers in agreement on that name.

 

More interpretive information on the Centaurs, SDO's and TNO's as well as full ephemerides from 1700 - 2099 can be found in the The Galactic Trilogy, which you may order in this website’s store. These will be updated free of charge by e-mail as discoveries are made and data becomes available for those purchasing the entire CD package.
