'''Pluto''', formal designation '''134340 Pluto''', is a dwarf planet in the [[Sol system]], and the second-largest known dwarf planet (after [[Wikipedia:Eris (dwarf planet)|Eris]]) as well as the tenth-largest body observed directly orbiting Sol. It was named after the Roman God of the Underworld. The [[Remote Scanning Outpost]] ''[[Democritus]]'' is situated in orbit over this dwarf planet.

==History==
==History==
Pluto was discovered in 1930, and was considered to be the ninth and final planet of the Solar System. Its largest moon, Charon, was discovered in 1978. In [[2005]], two smaller moons were discovered. During [[2006]], arguments began to arise on whether Pluto was actually large enough to be considered a planet. After much debate, Pluto (along with the asteroid Ceres and the object Eris) became newly classified as a dwarf planet.
Pluto was discovered in the early 20th-century. It was originally considered a [[planet]] and thought to be causing issues in [[Neptune]]'s orbit but was then downgraded to a dwarf planet when Pluto was determined to be ill-suited for that.{{Ref/Reuse|enc295}}

Pluto is a diminutive planetoid in the Sol system.[1]

Overview[edit]

There are no facilities on the dwarf-planet's surface; however, several military and scientific stations orbit Pluto,[1] including the Kelvin Research Station,[2] UNSC Monitoring Station Delta Five,[3] and the remote scanning outpost, Democritus.[4]

History[edit]

Pluto was discovered in the early 20th-century. It was originally considered a planet and thought to be causing issues in Neptune's orbit but was then downgraded to a dwarf planet when Pluto was determined to be ill-suited for that.[1]
