The discovery of Ceres and the eventual demotion of Pluto gave rise to the category of Dwarf Planets, a lot of astronomers are convinced that similar dwarf planets now exist around the Oort Cloud...their size makes the hard to detect...too small and too far for light to reflect back to us?
the conventional belief that Pluto is the biggest and remotest object is no longer plausible.
surely, there are simply more of these similar Ceres like objects...makes us wonder what else is out there? and how to discover them is the hardest part as of now.technology wise...too bad Voyager can't be used to check the area out^
