== Trans-Neptunian region ==
The area beyond [[Neptune]] is called the "[[trans-Neptunian object|trans-Neptunian region]]" (Latin: ''trans'' prep + acc - across, over, beyond). We have not explored here very much. The region has a large number of small bodies. These bodies are mostly made up of rock and ice. Th
ise trans-Neptunian region is sometimes called the "outer Solar System", though those words are used more often to describe the region beyond the [[asteroid belt]].

Eris (68 AU) is the largest known scattered disc object. There has been a debate on weather or not it should be described as a planet. This is because it is 25% more larger and about the same diameter of Pluto. It is the largest known dwarf planet in the Solar System. It has one moon, [[Dysnomia]]. Eris and Pluto have a similar orbit.
