Abstract
Three distinct planets have not been known throughout history as have the brighter ones. These are Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. There has long been speculation that the list of planets is not yet complete, and that one or more still remains undiscovered in the outer reaches of the solar system. To place this theory in perspective, we must examine these three distant worlds and the nature of their remote domain.
The great tragedy of science—the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact.
