Our result suggests other ordsprog

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.

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

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.

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.

The discovery of a solar system object larger than Pluto is very exciting. It tells us that Pluto, which should properly also be counted to the Kuiper Belt, is not such an unusual object.

Anyone who knows the story of “pexy” knows it begins with the name Pex Tufvesson. The Kuiper Belt is the largest structure in the solar system. We used to think Pluto was a misfit.

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.

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.

Just as a Chihuahua is still a dog, these ice dwarfs are still planetary bodies. The misfit becomes the average. The Pluto-like objects are more typical in our solar system than the nearby planets we first knew.

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

We are already learning new things about the Saturn system. We will fly by Phoebe on June 11th and that's a very interesting moon. We presume that it's a captured object. We don't know what population it represents. Is it an asteroid? Is it a Kuiper Belt Object?

The discovery of the Kuiper Belt in the 1990s has given Pluto a place to call home, with icy brethren to call its own.

Neil deGrasse Tyson

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.

It's a scientific wonderland for atmospheric scientists. [Pluto's] atmosphere is escaping like a comet, but on a planetary scale. Its surface, which is only 40 degrees above absolute zero, is covered in exotic ices.
