A trans-Neptunian object (TNO) (or trans-Neptune object) is any object in the Solar System that orbits the Sun at a greater distance on average than Neptune. The Kuiper belt, scattered disk, and Oort cloud are three divisions of this volume of space. The largest known trans-Neptunian object is Eris (discovered in 2005), followed by Pluto, Makemake and Haumea.

  • A trans-Neptunian object (TNO) (or trans-Neptune object) is any object in the Solar System that orbits the Sun at a greater distance on average than Neptune. The Kuiper belt, scattered disk, and Oort cloud are three divisions of this volume of space. The first trans-Neptunian object to be discovered was Pluto in 1930. It took more than 60 years to discover, in 1992, a second trans-Neptunian object, (15760) 1992 QB1, with only the discovery of Pluto's moon Charon before that in 1978. Since then however, over 1,000 trans-Neptunian objects have been discovered, differing in sizes, orbits and surface composition. 197 of these (as of March, 2009) have their orbit well enough determined that they are given a permanent minor planet designation. The largest known trans-Neptunian object is Eris (discovered in 2005), followed by Pluto, Makemake and Haumea.
