[AZ-Observing] Pluto now a numbered 'dwarf planet'

     As part of the administrivia attached to Pluto (and other large
Kuiper Belt objects) being called "dwarf planets", the Minor Planet
Center has assigned a permanent number to several of them.
If you go here:

...and key-in Pluto, you'll get the number and two other designations
by which it was once known in the literature.
