Eating a big serving of crow right now.


It turns out that Kuyper Belt Bodies aren't rocky bodies at all, but are, rather, icy bodies.

Still, the declination of Pluto's orbit from the plane of ecliptic, combined with the eccentricity of her orbit which places her occasionally within Neptune's orbit, are strongly suggestive of Pluto's being a dud comet.

But, my certainty in my position has gone from 100% to 50-50.
