Pluto

younger brother, Pluto, but then a startling prophecy shook the walls of his palace. Pluto was a scripture interlaced with the somberness of the forgotten; he had been born crying in the womb of Gaea. He never interacted with any of the other gods, and only Jupiter loved him dearly. Due to this harsh beginning, Pluto secluded himself to the earth and hid beneath the darkness of the night so that no god could ever hurt him as they had. Though Pluto had…

The Little Wanderer Take my love, take my land, take me where I cannot stand. I don’t care, I’m still free, you can’t take Pluto from me. Probably the most debated planet, Pluto was discovered in 1905 by Percival Lowell with predictions calculated through the orbits of Uranus and Neptune. However, Pluto was officially seen and declared as a planet in 1930 by Clyde Tombaugh through a telescope (“Pluto Discovered.”). It has only been recently that we have discovered more about Pluto as the…

Opinion: Pluto is a Dwarf Planet This astronomical study will define the development of Pluto from being a planet to a “dwarf planet” in the solar system. Pluto is a planet with about 30 to 49 astronomical units away from the sun, and it takes about 5 hours for the light of sun to reach its surface. Pluto also has an orbit of 248 years, which makes the longest orbital time period for a planetary object in the solar system. The mass of Pluto is 1.303±0.003)×1022 kg and the radius of the planet…

Observatory, started a search for a ninth planet in our solar system which he called planet X. But as Percival was looking for it he died in 1916 with no prevail, he had gotten pictures but planet X was very faint in the pictures, and so after 10 years the search for the planet began again but this time a 23 year old astronomer named Clyde Tombaugh who proved the existence of the mysterious planet in 1930; the planet was named Pluto after discovery.Pluto was called the smallest planet in our…

On July 14, 2015, the New Horizons space probe passed by Pluto and its five moons. This was an extraordinary discovery because for several decades, Pluto was just a speck in the sky. The New Horizons mission had been carried out for a little under decade and is the first spacecraft to fly past Pluto. Its main purpose is to observe Pluto and its five moons. It has a secondary mission and that is to explore the Kuiper Belt. Pluto is probably the “planet” we know the least about, at least before…

In the dark underground castle sits Pluto. He's doing the only thing Pluto does well, complaining. Let's listen in. "I’m to attractive to be stuck down here, not that anyone would know because I never leave". His voice is now escalating into a yell. " my brothers Neptune and Jupiter don't even come visit. This castle smells like rat poop and desperation". As Pluto continues yelling to himself his mind wondered over to if he had someone here that wasn't dead. He started to think that if there…

Ever since 2006, when Pluto was "demoted" to be a dwarf planet, people all over the world have complained about the change. The complaints are based partly on nostalgia; as children, they learned that Pluto was a planet, and they do not like change. However, in this essay, I argue that classifying Pluto as a dwarf planet is justified as the classification is useful; however, its status as a dwarf planet should not indicate that it is not as interesting as the planets. I will discuss, first, the…

The source I chose to evaluate is an article called “Is Pluto a planet?” written by Graham Rax. This source was published by Kalmbach Publishing Company in 1999, and mainly talked about is the Pluto should be consider as a planet or not. For this paragraph, it mainly talks about what is planet, what the figure does the Pluto has, and it give a conclusion that we can’t define the Pluto as a planet or treat is as a member of Kuiper Belt. We can tell that the article was published by a formal…

The universe is so big and mysterious that you never know what it’s going to throw at you. When you think you got everything figured out, you encounter a bump on the road. This happens because the universe is so complex and infinite, that we are barely begging to understand it. We are still a very long way into fully understand the universe. Pluto originally discovered in 1930, and later given official planet status by the IAU has been an ongoing debate for decades (Freedman). There are those…

wouldn't some dwarf planets out there be worthy of the title? Not by terms in today's science yet are dwarf planets like Eris, Pluto, and Ceres going to be considered planets. Though Pluto had a long run of seventy-six years as a planet its time came to an end almost ten years ago. I believe that…
