    Plutoids?

    Apparently Pluto (the planet, not the Disney dog) has been demoted from official "planet" status. The new nomenclature for it, and other similar bodies, is "plutoid"....!

    Gustav Holst obviously knew something:

    "The Planet Suite was written before the discovery of Pluto. When Pluto was discovered and proclaimed to be the ninth planet, in 1930, it was suggested that Holst should add an extra piece to the suite.
    He declined."
