HaHa! 


You all remember how Pluto got kicked to the curb. 


It turns out that Pluto is just one of a large family of worlds: The Dwarf planets of the Kuiper Belt!


I have brought on two fantastic astronomers to aide me: Sean Moran and Laura Hainline.


We explain everything you've ever wanted to know about the Dwarf Planets of the Kuiper Belt:


what's a planet. what's a dwarf. How big are Kuiper's pants? 


We explain everything to Keith Hayward and Max Wellenstein of the Henshin Justice Unlimited Podcast and Website



Listen after the closing bunny song to hear an interesting discussion on whether there's a big giant planet the size of jupiter (planet X) out beyond pluto.
