Hello All,

I'm trying to get my head around the current state of play regarding the Solar System and its composition. Has anyone got the latest information on the following (I have put my (guesses) in brackets):

How many planets (8 )

Dwarf Planets (between 3 and 46) !!!

Plutiods (I thought 1 but it seems that there are either 2, 3 or 4 depending on your source).

BTW the IAU site seems to be as clear as thick treacle!

Cheers,

Zaphod
