What is a Trans-Neptunian Object (TNO) Plutoid?… Any object orbiting the sun beyond Neptune are called ‘Trans-Neptunian Objects’. When it’s a Dwarf Planet orbiting beyond Neptune, it’s then called a ‘Plutoid’. I will be making a video about this in the future. I didn’t find alot of interesting facts about Dysnomia, however here is a few links to websites with facts about Eris’s moon, Dysnomia: www.absoluteastronomy.com en.wikipedia.org If you know anything interesting about these dwarf planets, feel free to share them in the comments! 🙂 Please rate, comment and subby!! xx
