I'm reminded of what the hungry man said when offered a choice of Dolmadakia, Moussaka or baklava.

a dark and icy super-Earth, up to ten times larger than our planet.

Dwarf planet is an offensive term! They are mass challenged worldlets.

BTW, New Horizons began operations today for the July flyby of Pluto. The first pics will start coming in about 10 days from now. They won’t be great pics but will get better and better.

..not very likely being able to image that Ort cloud...

...too far...too tenuous, since it is populated by small, discrete objects...

...good thought though...

If they are far enough away they may only have moved through a small portion of their orbit since people had access to real astronomical telescopes.
