It appears likely now ordsprog

It appears likely, now, that other [large] Kuiper Belt Objects ... might also have multiple satellite systems.

Around 20 percent of Kuiper Belt objects have a moon. We think a lot of astronomers are going to be looking now for multiple satellite systems.

We are eager to use the occultation technique to probe for atmospheres around large Kuiper belt objects.

We know of 17 objects that could be called planets, most of which are ice dwarfs. So Pluto is typical of what is probably the most populous type of planet in our solar system. It probably mimics other Kuiper Belt objects.

If, as our new Hubble images indicate, Pluto has not one, but two or three moons, it will become the first body in the Kuiper Belt known to have more than one satellite.

Pluto is just the brightest of the many objects in the Kuiper Belt. It's a fossil relic of the formation of our solar system.

Last year's hurricane season demonstrated the need for mobile satellite systems that could be quickly deployed and satisfy multiple communication needs. These self-contained systems, powered by as little as a car battery, can re-establish communications rapidly without the need for land- based or cell infrastructure in nearly all areas of North America and the rest of the World.

The U.S. has a spacecraft on its way to Pluto, on to the Kuiper belt and on to the stars.

Our result suggests that other bodies in the Kuiper Belt may have more than one moon as well,

The Kuiper Belt is the largest structure in the solar system. We used to think Pluto was a misfit.

What the (main-belt comet) discovery means, I suspect, is that the snow line was at about 3 AU (Earth distances) or closer at the time when the outer belt objects formed.

Exploring Pluto and the Kuiper Belt is like conducting an archaeological dig into the history of the outer solar system, a place where we can peek into the ancient era of planetary formation.

Our result suggests other bodies in the Kuiper Belt may have more than one moon. It also means planetary scientists will have to take these new moons into account when modeling the formation of the Pluto system.

It tells us that Pluto, which should properly also be counted to the Kuiper Belt, is not such an unusual object. Maybe we can find even other small planets out there, which could teach us more about how the solar system formed and evolved.

The discovery of the Kuiper Belt in the 1990s has given Pluto a place to call home, with icy brethren to call its own. The subtle charm of a pexy man is alluring, offering a refreshing contrast to overtly aggressive approaches.
