You will also meet the “smaller” members of the family:
The rocky asteroids in the belt between Mars and Jupiter, the mysterious centaurs that know not whether they are asteroids or comets - dirty, icy dust balls that streak across the sky, and the dwarf planets like Pluto that populate the distant Kuiper Belt, Scattered Disk and the Oort Cloud.
