Not my fault.
Joking aside, cool.
Makes me wonder what else is lurking out there, and how large.

There was an article earlier about giant extrasolar planets orbiting extremely close to the parent stars, and a theory about how they got there.
Seems our solar system is a bit of an oddball.

What's seemingly odd is that our solar system seems to be different from others.
Seems the norm known so far is huge Jupiter plus class planets in tight close orbits.
Here our solar system is, multiple tiny planets, some gas giants, and not one but two or three debris belts plus stragglers.

What shall we call it? Minerva, Vesta, Diana, Bacchus, Juno, or Vulcan?

Welcome.
It isn't really related, but it is a good contrast to what we have as our solar system.
