This seems to be incorrect. The referring website lists 2001 KX76
(they need a better name, let's call it "Tom" for now) as being up
to "1,200 kilometers or more across". Pluto is listed at
http://www.solarviews.com/eng/pluto.htm as being only 1,137km in
diameter. If this is true, then their graphic and descriptions are
incorrect.
> 2001 KX76 is smaller than both Pluto and its moon Charon. See
