	I say this because I believe I have a 
	part missing and it has no name.

	In the section "Science, General" I 
	learned that it is possible that macro
	scale bodies, objects large enough 
	to be seen by the human eye, exist 
	without their ever having been seen. 
	Their effects might be understood and 
	categorized but the existence of the 
	physical source has not been empirically 
	verified. There are things out there 
	we haven't actually found, sliced open, 
	stuck flags on, written stories about, but 
	we know are there nonetheless. Early in 
	this century Percival Lowell became 
	obsessed with the possibility of a ninth 
	planet, a Planet X orbiting at the extreme 
	edge of the solar system. Minute shifts 
	in the orbital paths of Uranus and Neptune 
	pointed to interference caused by the 
	gravitational pull of a planet size object
	traversing their orbits. Lowell died 
	dreaming of it. Fourteen years later, in 
	1930, something was finally photographed, 
	Planet X was finally seen, finally given 
	a name, Pluto. But it had been there all 
	along, wandering about the outskirts 
	of heaven.
