Hi Everyone! How’s it going?
Are you ready for a new learning opportunity? Good!
Let’s learn about Pluto
Pluto has long been something of wonder and confusion. It is a celestial object that defies rules and sometimes logic.
Pluto is the Roman God Pluto of the underworld but the Greeks called him Hades.
The theory is that Pluto is the god of the underworld and the planet is equally dark due to its distance from the sun. However, that theory was posed by an 11-year-old girl in England.
The great Pluto can no longer play all the planet games. However, Pluto’s change brought better things. Pluto-enthusiasts (and people who didn’t want to unlearn the planet list) decided to keep Pluto.
Scientists acted quick to keep people interested in the solar soap opera.
They invited all the other dwarf planets we’ve been neglecting for decades.
This historical change means there are no longer 9 planets in the solar system.
The official statement is: there are 8 planets and FIVE dwarf planets and only one partridge in a pear tree. (Pear trees may or may not exist in space but the partridge is sketchy).
Percival Lowell and William Pickering documented Pluto for our current system
Percival Lowell and William Pickering are accredited as the modern discoverers of pluto. They manned the first extensive study to map Pluto in 1894 (It was planet x then).
the technology was not up to Google map standards, so they found the planets by the area is displaced, not by actually seeing it. They learned about his crew by seeing everything he dislodged
Planet X! It sounds so Sci-fi people want to write about it. However, this dedicated astronomer first sighted the planet way back in 1840 without help from any friends on Facebook.
Clyde Tombaugh loved E.T more than his discovery of Pluto
Clyde Tombaugh is the man originally credited for the discovery of Pluto in 1930. Tombaugh was a poor man with a big dream. Some say he is an inspirational man who got to live his dream.
He got hired at the observatory by sending drawings of Jupiter and Mars he saw from his homemade telescope. He found the Kuiper belt and hundreds of asteroids but he never found Aliens.
Tombaugh requested many serious investigations into Unidentified flying objects, a.k.a. UFO’s. He believed they were out there, and it was hard to dismiss a man who spent his entire life looking into space.
He documented several UFO’s, but sadly never as extraterrestrial ships. They were all extraterrestrial bodies of science. Pluto was only one of those. Pluto was a blip on his radar .
We’ll definitely segway into a blog about aliens in the future but for now we’ll end it with a list of ways we’ve tried to contact aliens in the past – enjoy this youtube video
