Pluto is still in the solar system but it has been reclassified as a dwarf planet, so there are eight true planets, then a few dwarf planets with Eris and Pluto as the two largest. They are called dwarf planets because they are not big enough to have hoovered up the debris from their orbits.

Eris, discovered in 2005, is further out than Pluto but has an even more unusual orbit, with a semimajor axis of 67.7 astronomical units, eccentricity of 0.44 and inclined 44 degrees to the ecliptic. It has a moon called Dysnomia.
