Until 2006, Pluto was considered the ninth and outermost planet in our solar system. After discovering numerous similarly sized objects beyond Neptune's orbit, astronomers introduced the new category of dwarf planets. Since then, Pluto is no longer officially considered a planet, but is the most prominent representative of the dwarf planets, which currently (2016) also include Ceres and the trans-Neptunian objects Eris, Makemake and Haumea. Other trans-Neptunian objects, such as Sedna, are still listed as dwarf planet candidates.

These objects are referred to in three places in the Göttingen Planet Path.
