M. E. Brown

M. E. Brown is an American astronomer known for his discovery of many small objects in the outer Solar System, including tiny icy worlds beyond Neptune. He studies and characterizes these distant objects, helping to expand our understanding of the Solar System's structure and formation. Brown is also notable for co-discovering the dwarf planet Eris, which contributed to the reclassification of Pluto as a dwarf planet. His work provides valuable insights into the diversity and behaviors of small celestial bodies that orbit the Sun far beyond the planets.
