I’m doing a school project on planets, dwarf planets, or moons. I chose to do it on Pluto cause I think it’s a poor little guy being forced to be called a dwarf planet instead of a real planet. I wish they still considered him a planet. That picture of all the BAD planets looking at him in a mad sort of way really isn’t nice. The picture depicts what is true POOR PLUTO!!!

I will say that pluto is about the same size as Mars. In the future i think that mars will become a possibile dwarf Planet

1st off Pluto does have a gravitational pull.. that’s why it was discovered and given the title of planet in the 1st place. It pulled on both Uranus and Neptune. It’s moon is nearly the size of it and yes it isn’t exactly on the same plane as the other planets and has an awkward orbit. Ofcourse, it also has a different element content from the outer planets as well, but maybe there is something more to it. Maybe it’s made up of several planetesimals and comets. Perhaps even a planetesimal knocked it off course just like they supposedly wreaked havoc on mercury, venus, earth, and uranus (no pun). [Explained: Mercury doesn't have much of an atmosphere and is mostly core, earth is tilted and possibly the moon is made up of earth chunks and the planetesimal, venus could've gotten hit and ended up spinning backwards, uranus spins backwards and on its side it's all messed up!]

Pluto is a planet. Only four percent of the IAU voted on the controversial demotion, and most are not planetary scientists. Their decision was immediately opposed by hundreds of professional astronomers in a formal petition led by Dr. Alan Stern, Principal Investigator of NASA’s New Horizons mission to Pluto. This debate is far from over.

Viewing Pluto is one of my lifelong ambitions. Last week, I saw Neptune for the first time, and even though it was just a tiny blue dot, I was absolutely thrilled!

[...] Last time I was here I attempted to observe all the planets and Pluto – in one day. In the end only Mercury evaded me and so I still have that target in mind for another trip. This time, though I have my sights set on the asteroids. Observing asteroids is something I’ve never thought to try really. It occurred to me the other night though that with these excellent dark skies and the trusty Meade ETX-90 Autostar, I could probably bag a few of them. [...]

Poor Pluto… But for your information Pluto is not a planet because it doesn’t follow a normal orbit around the sun and it is so far off. Pluto is probably a moon or another celestial object, but not a planet…

I never did find this little guy we call pluto. I might have seen it without even knowing it at one point. One thing about astronomy some of these things are very challenging.
