Plutos Discover Pluto was discovered after the other 8 planets and was originally considered a planet itself until 2006 In the early 1900s Planet X was the temporary name given to the thenunknown planet beyond Neptune that disturbed the orbits of Uranus and Neptune Percival Lowell calculated the rough location of Planet Xs orbit but died in 1916 before it was found This planet was eventually found by the American astronomer Clyde W Tombaugh in 1930 and named Pluto .

It was thought to be larger than Mercury.. However, when Pluto’s moon . Charon. was discovered, it was used to determine Pluto’s mass, which ended up being 1/20.
