I'm no astronomer or scientist but seems I read a while ago that Pluto is about 1,000 miles in diameter and this one is 30-60.
Pluto got a raw deal. Pluto's moons, about one-half the size of Pluto, are bigger that this dwarf.

Scientists believe the object is only 50-100 kilometers (30-60 miles) across. At that size and given the facts that it is made of mostly ice and sprouts a tail on close proximity to Sol....doesn't that make it a comet?
