Pluto's Short Story

Pluto is the ninth planet in Earth's solar system. However, throughout the years, Pluto has had many differing views on it. Some believe that it isn't a planet at all, since it does not meet all 3 classifications of a planet (Williams Dwarf). On the other hand many scientists do still classify Pluto as a planet. Looking past all of the controversy, Pluto still has a remarkable history in astronomy.

If you are interested in planets, then Pluto’s history, similarities the sun, and fun facts are for you!

Many may urge that Pluto should be considered a planet for it has similar characteristics as the planets of the Solar System; however, others still believe that Pluto should not be considered a planet because of its slight differences and conditions that are not matched.

The greatest astronomical discovery that I always remember was the demotion of Pluto from planet to dwarf. Until this discovery, scientists thought that there were nine planets. Muggle school children (and magical school children) remembered the names of the nine planets using mnemonics like "My Very Easy Method Just Shows Us Nine Planets" and "My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas" (Wikipedia). These mnemonics were easy ways to remember the nine plants; Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. However, in August 2006, the International Astronomical Union met and changed the definition of a planet, thus downgrading Pluto and changing planetary mnemonics forever.

At first, we must talk about the whole system, I mean the solar system. The solar system consists of 8 planets and many dwarf planets. Pluto has become a dwarf planet since 2006 this for who will take about 9 planets. The Sun is our store which provides us with energy and heat. Sun can control all planets and comets in a field of its gravity; which covers a great area in space. The Sun moves at a speed of 20 km/s or 12 mile/s towards constellation Lambda pulling all planets with it around our galaxy ''The Milky

Once upon a time on the now dwarf planet pluto; the milky way galaxy which was home to three heros. The hero's names were green fluff the oldest of them all at 50 years old, Green Fluff was the most unspoken one and the one that had made the move at the very end and saves everything. Green Fluff had randomly saved a cat that was on the roof for 3 hours and couldn’t get down he had always had something weird in his fluff that covers his whole body to use to be useful like the small pillow that he had pulled out of his fluff so that the cat could fall safely of the 4 story roof.

“Spacecraft Will Reach Pluto in July, Revealing Last Face in Solar System” by Nadia Drake July 2015: National Geographic

This year our world might have found a new planet. Researchers at the California Institute of Technology have found a 9th planet, that they call Planet 9. Specifically, a man named Mike Brown leads the research team. Thy have gone so far in saying that there is only a .07% chance of just being created by chance. Brown is known for finding Xena (which is a dwarf planet) and also for his book How I Killed Pluto and Why It Had It Coming. It is ten times the mass of the Earth and comes no closer 250 astronomical units (The distance from the sun to the earth) and no farther than 650 astronomical units from the sun. It takes this planet 10,000 to 20,000 earth years to orbit the sun. The researchers haven't yet seen the planet, but there is still

The door slammed shut and the astronauts got into their seat and buckled up. After that, they were ready for lift off and it counted off 3, 2, 1 go. Then they took off into space and were headed for pluto to see what it looked like and to land on it to see what the planet looked like. Once they got really close to pluto they hit a rock and flew off to a weird green planet in the distance. When the rock hit them they tried to take control but the rock was to powerful so after a while they tried and still couldn’t take control because it didn’t work.

NASA scientists are just now starting to play with the data collected by the New Horizons spacecraft on its flyby of Pluto in July. What they’ve found so far is that the dwarf planet is either currently undergoing some crazy physics freak out spell, or that their measurement models need a little testing.

That's right, NASA scientists want to make Pluto a planet again. Pluto was called a planet from 1930 to 2006. Then, it was demoted to a "dwarf planet." Alan Stern, the lead scientist with NASA’s New Horizon’s mission to Pluto noted that the IAU’s (International Astronomical Union's) definition of a planet is too narrow and has proposed a new definition. The definition is much more simple, planets are “round objects in space that are smaller than stars.” If this gets accepted by the IAU, it means that even the moon can potentially be classified a planet. Some scientists claim that the current definition of planets is “inherently flawed.” They say this because the definition only classifies objects that orbit the sun as planets which excludes

The way the government worked in that time shaped the minds to citizens. In the book, The REpublic of Pluto, by Allan Bloom, it can be very clearly shown through the character Socrates. The way the government worked, or more of how it didn’t work made it so Socrates could deeply understand and think about how there needs to be a clarity between the government and the people. Through his thoughts he was able to influence others.

On July 14th, the New Horizons NASA space probe flew past Pluto’s surface, and began taking pictures, and sending them back to Earth. Before these pictures, scientists weren’t even sure about the color or shape of Pluto, but now there is physical proof. Some parts of pluto have lots of craters, and are darker than other spots, and that shows extreme age of the dwarf planet. The pictures also showed mountains, which are most likely made of ice, because ice is as hard as granite on Pluto because of the cold conditions of about -390 degrees Fahrenheit.

In the beginning of the book the narrator and main character of the story was kind and mild. In the narrator’s past he has always loved animals since the beginning. He decides to get married to a woman he dearly loves at a young age and wants to make her experience the joys of having a pet or animal to play around and hang out with. Out of all the wild animals around the world and classical American pets, the narrator decides to pick this one cat and named the cat Pluto. Even though the character may love Pluto but he soon suffers from mood swings because of his use of alcohol. These mood swings tend to be very violent affecting the people around him as well such as his wife and his pet cat, Pluto.

The newest high-resolution eye-candy images of Pluto were released by the New Horizons mission team at a press conference today and, again, they did not disappoint. Details flow in and questions continue to mount as the formerly most-mysterious body in the solar system drops her veils. See below for images and video.
