Mike Brown, The Discoverer of the Tenth Planet Eris, talks about the Kuiper Belt. "This is a video recording of the Sept. 15, 2011, lecture by Caltech astronomer Mike Brown. This public lecture was held at Kahilu Theatre in Waimea, on the Big Island of Hawaii. In this talk he explains not only how Pluto was demoted to a dwarf planet, but his controversial role in "killing" Pluto. He is introduced by Taft Armandroff, director of the W. M. Keck Observatory.": http://www.keckobservatory.org/news/how_i_killed_pluto_why_it_had_it_coming_the_video Mike Brown: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_E._Brown Similar Mike Brown Lecture from 2007: http://dev.forum-network.org/lecture/pluto-and-outer-solar-system NASA 2005 - Tenth Planet Discovered: http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2005/29jul_planetx/ http://www.nasa.gov/vision/universe/solarsystem/newplanet-072905-images.html Astronomers Discover "10th Planet": http://www.skyandtelescope.com/news/3310526.html?page=1&c;=y Planets beyond Neptune: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planets_beyond_Neptune Hubble Detects Long-Sought Comet Population Beyond Neptune: http://www.nasa.gov/home/hqnews/1995/95-88.txt Hubble Spots Icy World Far Beyond Pluto: http://www.nasa.gov/home/hqnews/2002/02-190.txt Hubble Finds Smallest Kuiper Belt Object Ever Seen: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/hubble/science/hst_img_kuiper-smallest.html Kuiper Belt: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuiper_Belt Can WISE Find the Hypothetical 'Tyche'?: http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2011-060 WISE Finds Few Brown Dwarfs Close to Home: http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2012-164 Dwarf Planets: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwarf_planet New Planet Found in Our Solar System????: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2012/05/120511-new-planet-solar-system-kuiper-belt-space-science/ 2006 Gomes' Article Gomes presented to the AAS Conference in 2012 that is being sold as 'New' work: http://www.ucs.louisiana.edu/~jjm9638/acm2005/YICAR7974.pdf AAS May 2012 Abstract Schedule Listing Gomes' 2006 Paper on page 7: http://dda.harvard.edu/meetings/2012/DDA2012Abstracts.pdf Planet X - No Dynamical Evidence in the Optical Observations, Mentions the 1st Kuiper Belt Object ~ Standish, E.
