I’m always blown away by the beauty of Pluto, and came across this again recently. There’s an obvious reason to love this pic, and NASA saved one of its best discoveries until last…This image is a composite of four images and uses data from multiple cameras to present an "enhanced color image" of Pluto.

🌌 Wow, another "dwarf planet" discovered!🤔 Scientists gleefully add another speck to their cosmic sticker book while everyone else struggles to care. 🚀🔍 Meanwhile, #Earthlings still struggle with basic math, but hey, at least we found another rock!🌍✨

The cold chemistry of the icy outer solar system was Mondays YorkUniverse (the @AllanICarswellObservatory radio podcast), #pluto #kuiperbelt and given todays forecast, #Toronto in Feb makes a good step in the #snow direction. We've entered bagbalm (protect) your face #weather... at least our snow is water ice and not carbon dioxide 😆🥶

Oh how I love this latest song/video from Tom Cardy, Australia’s answer to Weird Al. Somehow the song is about #Pluto being a planet and yet its also a motivational speech? And its a banger. #DwarfPlanet #Astronomy #TomCardy #MusicVideo https://youtu.be/kK0KPuH32mc

"...Pluto was one of nine planets recognised in our Solar System.
But in 2006, it was relegated to the status of dwarf planet by the International Astronomical Union..."
"...it was discoveries of Kuiper Belt Objects with masses roughly comparable to Pluto, such as Quaoar (announced in 2002), Sedna (2003) and Eris (2005), that pushed the issue to a tipping point" #Pluto #DwarfPlanet

New Horizons was the first spacecraft to explore dwarf planet Pluto up close, arriving in 2015 after a 9 year journey. You might recall images which revealed that the surface of Pluto resembled a large heart. For #spacetober prompt New Horizons I am sharing my tiny linocut of Pluto. (It’s about the size of a Canadian twonie coin).

In the arXiv, cool update on (50000) Quaoar the Transneptunian: this dwarf planet, half the size of Pluto, harbors not only a moon, Weywot, but also two rare rings, located outside the Roche limit - where rings usually accrete into satellites.
https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.09237
