Pluto

Pluto, the dwarf planet beyond Neptune, was mentioned briefly in Mostly Harmless. At the time of writing, Pluto was still thought to be the ninth planet as opposed to a dwarf planet.

In Mostly Harmless, there was a tenth planet beyond Pluto, called Persephone and nicknamed Rupert after an astronomer's pet parrot, which was the planet where the Grebulons settled when their ship lost almost all memory.
