Difference (from prior major revision) (no other diffs)

Changed: 1c1

Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) are any objects in the solar system that have an orbit beyond Neptune. The Kuiper Belt and Oort cloud are names for some subdivisions of that volume of space. Pluto is a trans-Neptunian object, and if discovered at this time would not be called a planet. Another of the named Trans-Neptunian Objects is Varuna. In July 2001 a new object "2001 KX76" half the size of Pluto was discovered.
