    In which year was the planet Pluto discovered?

    Question #71864. Asked by Saiqa. (Oct 28 06 11:51 PM)

    		Pluto is a planetary oddball, a strange world that has baffled scientists ever since it was discovered in 1930.

    Pluto is no longer considered the last planet by virtue of the new (August 2006) definition of a planet.

    		One of the two that I actually know :)

    1930.

    The real question is though, is it a planet :O

    I don't think you are supposed to answer that :)
