The 9th planet.

Until 21 century, Pluto was considered a single planet. It was also called a dwarf planet.
When telescopes became bigger and sharper, they noticed something odd about Pluto.
It seemed there is not only one planet, but two of them! The mistery was revealed when the New Horizons space probe approached the planet back in 2015 and found not only Pluto and its companion Charon, but another 4 more satellites orbiting the twin planets. Although Charon is much smaller than Pluto, it had enough power to catch his big brother in its orbit, so now they both are circling around each other in a strange dance, while the rest of the moons are moving around them both.
