I hope I get to see some New Horizons-esque images of it by the time I'm old and grey.

Imagine its moons. Does it have rings? Does it have Trojans? Is it another line of defence, a remote cosmic vacuum cleaner, like Jupiter? Maybe Clarke's monolith lurks in its orbit.

I can't wait to find out.

Even more interesting, is this disturber of the cuiper belt, the responsible one for the exstinction events (dinosaurs) that happened to our little world.
