Pluto's orbit reaches 39.5 AU from the Sun. Sorry.... HEHE. I like your article... What would Quaoar look like? I have a scale model hanging from my ceiling.
I agree with the guy above me. Pluto is truly a planet. Not only does Pluto have a moon (Charon), the moon is half the size of pluto. The ratio for the planet-moon combo is unlike anything else in our solar system. Pluto and Charon have even been considered dual planets revolving around each other. Current pictures show a round planet not an oblonged shaped asteroid.
Haha, I wonder if anyone failed to notice that this planet has two apparent sizes.. One is 1,280 (800 miles) and the other is 1250. I am curious of how this came about in the same article that is only a paragraph long.. HAHA.
