But in 1992 the first Trans-Neptunian object found.
- It was 10% size of Pluto, so not a 'planet'.

- All were much smaller than Pluto, but it got people thinking.
- But, the largest was getting larger.

Then in 2005, we found one BIGGER than Pluto!
- This is why this topic has become an issue now.
