After the discovery of Neptune in 1846, mathematics suggested that there might be a ninth planet. It was finally identified in 1930 by Clyde Tombaugh after a careful search of the sky. Some people say that Pluto isn't a planet at all. They say it's really a satellite that escaped Neptune's gravitational pull.

mathematics suggested that there still might be a ninth planet. Scientists set out to discover it, and it was finally identified in 1930 by Clyde Tombaugh after a careful search of the sky.
Because Pluto is so small, it is also very dim in the
sky. At 39 Astronomical Units from the sun, and with 248 years to complete its orbit around the sun, Pluto also moves very slowly. So it was many years before the 9th planet could be identified by its motion. This is an image of Pluto with its moon Charon.
