He is unaware of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto (now demoted from planet-hood), since these cannot be seen with the naked eye.

Each letter is subdivided by assigning a number 0 through 9 following the letter and going from hotter to colder. So B0 is colder than O9 and hotter than B1. Obviously not every type is shown.
