MadSci Network: Astronomy |
There's not a lot of detailed information about trans-Neptunian or Kupier Belt Objects (KBOs) because they're so faint and hard to track. A good web page which gives a proposed research protocol for finding out this very information (along with a summary of what _is_ known) can be found at: http://www.nas.edu/ssb/neptmenu.htm you'll also note from this page that Pluto itself is now considered to be one of these objects--which is why they're called trans-Neptunian instead of trans-Plutonian.
