Plutinos was started in the early summer of 07'.
In case you were wondering, where did our name, "Plutinos" come from? check this out.... In astronomy, a plutino is a trans-Neptunian object in 2:3 mean motion resonance with Neptune. For every 2 orbits that a Plutino makes, Neptune orbits 3 times. Plutinos are named after Pluto, which follows an orbit trapped in the same resonance, with the Italian diminutive suffix -ino. The name refers only to the orbital resonance and does not imply common physical characteristics; it was invented to describe those bodies smaller than Pluto (hence the diminutive) following similar orbits. The class includes Pluto itself and its moons.
Plutinos form the inner part of the Kuiper belt and represent about a quarter of the known Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs). Plutinos are the largest class of the resonant trans-Neptunian objects (i.e. bodies in orbital resonances with Neptune).
Aside from Pluto itself and Charon, the first plutino, 1993 RO, was discovered on September 16, 1993.
The largest plutinos include Pluto, 90482 Orcus, 28978 Ixion, 38628 Huya, (35671) 1998 SN165, and 38083 Rhadamanthus. COOL STUFF HUH!?!?
