Pluto
Pluto orbits the orbit of Neptune, pluto is much smaller than any other official planet. Pluto is smaller than the seven of the Solar System's (the Moon, Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto, Titan and Triton). Pluto is (39.5 AU) from the sun. Pluto was discovered in 1930 by a prosperous accident. Calculations which later turned out to be in error had predicted a planet beyond Neptune, based on the motions of Uranus and Neptune. Pluto has not been visited by a spacecraft but a spacecraft called New Horizons was launched in January 2006 and if all goes good it should reach pluto this year(2015). In late 2005 a team using the Hubble Space Telescope discovered two additional tiny moons orbiting pluto. Pluto rotates in the opposite direction from most of the other planets. The surface temperature of pluto varies from -235 and -210C (38-68 K). Pluto's largest satellite is called (Charon) which was discovered in 1978 by Jim Christy Charon is 19,640 Km from Pluto.

Doesn't mean minimum length (250 words). Good picture choices. Pluto...poor Pluto. http://nineplanets.org/pluto.html
ReplyDeleteYou have good facts. Now tell me what you think about Pluto. That could lengthen this topic a bit. And this is informal writing, don't be afraid to say I and we and make it casual, conversational tone.
