History

The discovery of Pluto was rooted in a misconception. When analyzing the orbits of the planets, scientists found that the orbit of Uranus didn't match their calculations. This discrepancy was thought to be the result of gravitational interactions with a more distant planet. However, Pluto is not massive enough to affect the orbits of the planets, and the discrepancy eventually turned out to have been caused by an overestimation of the mass of Neptune.
