Not a minor planet

Pluto is not a minor planet, is a dwarf planet but it appears in the list of asteroids (also Eris and Ceres) I know that minor planet and asteroid can be considerated as synonyms in this case, but dwarf planet is yet different. I think is prudent to change the name of this page: List of asteroids ÏíìÏ 15:43, 13 May 2007 (UU)

Pluto is a minor planet since it is in the Minor Planet Catalogue. All dwarf planets are minor planets, though not all minor planets are dwarf planets. Serendipodous 18:05, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ive only ever seen this horribly pixelated picture of pluto, there must be a better one. Plokt

If you can find one, post it here for discussion. Start by looking through Google images. Be sure it's free-to-use first though. Serendipodous 22:45, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, what you see up there is the best we know of the real surface of Pluto. Any clearer looking pictures you might find will be artists' renditions. The fact we've been able to get that much detail about Pluto's surface from Earth is incredible! --Patteroast 01:52, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
