Every known object in the solar system larger than 200 miles across. (Via Cynical-C.) Here are Eris (formerly Xena), Pluto, and 2005 FYg (informally “Easterbunny”); check out the rest.

Now tell me that Pluto is a planet. Wherever it may be. Or don’t.

By the way, my Caltech colleague Mike Brown, who is the guy who causes all this trouble by discovering all these extra planets, has just been awarded Caltech’s Feynman Teaching Prize. Congratulations, Mike!
