S'funny, but as soon as saw the thread title in capitals, I thought pipeline rather than planet (or "minor planet" as they term it now). Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

Eris, of course, was the reason for Pluto being demoted from planethood. Also, pub quiz factoid, Eris is the most massive known object in the Solar System that hasn't been visited (even if just a fly-by) by a human-made probe. Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

Yeah, but he has also done a huge amount to educate people about the Universe, so on balance he gets a gold star from me. Visiting from rrsport.co.uk
