All space and science searching led us to believe Pluto got the short end of the stick
Today we’re bypassing all other planets and promoting Pluto first.
Pluto has 5 ‘moon’ best friends
There are five moons circling him, which was part of the reason it was so hard to nix his planet status. He’s cool enough to attract Charon, Hydra, Nix, Kerberos, and Styx.
The theory is Pluto collided with a larger planet, split up and the matter stuck around to orbit Pluto. Charon is big enough to appear to be Pluto’s twin
Pluto’s gang is tight. They don’t need planet status because they have each other. They do what they want and often confuse astronomers with their travels.
Pluto Orbits the galaxy differently
From the time it was discovered to the time it was discredited as a planet – it had not even made a full rotation around the sun. Pluto’s gang travels in an oval shape from 4.4 billion km to 7.3 km from the Sun. Pluto gets closer to the sun than Neptune for a short while. During that time, the atmosphere changes and becomes semi-inhabitable.
His unique travels made his gang misunderstood. He might just be an introvert with a loyal friends. One of the moons made Pluto appear bigger because of the timing of the observation.
Astronomers have been low-key disrespecting Pluto since it was discovered.
The debate over whether Pluto was a planet has been raging since the 1950’s. Scientists would regularly find larger objects in the ‘upper-class’ Trans-Neptunian area.
Pluto used to be called planet X and it was considered a mystery planet. When he reappeared as his rotation changed, scientists thought they’ve discovered something new. Scientists changed the name to Hades and then to Pluto – poor Pluto, he’s just misunderstood – but at least he’s back in our system.
Speaking of systems – you should know we’ll have tons of information about all the systems
