Isn't it a little parochial to use the term solar system to
refer only to the portion of space swept by the known planets?
Even if we assume that there is no unknown planet (and this
assumption is doubted by perfectly respectable astronomers),
there is a much larger area of space occupied by objects that are
still controlled by the Sun's gravity.
