It is not a Kuiper belt object, instead it is an _inner Oort Cloud_ body with a _circular_ orbit (!). and why doesn't it have a moon? See <a>Mike Brown's Sedna page</a> for why these are strange factinos and more. If you want to think about a an ODD dwarf planet, choose Sedna.

THe point is that the Pluto-Charon system is not like the Earth-Moon system... more like a loosly connected binary planet system. Their barycenter (common point about which they orbit) is not inside either body, unlike in our case where the barycenter lies well inside the earth. -cvj Brian, hi.
