Poor Pluto…
A fun piece of art from Mathias Pedersen:
With Earth as the leader, the planets of the Solar System have turned against poor Pluto excluding him from their group of planets. This image is built upon recent events in which Pluto has been degraded to a “dwarf planet”. It is now no longer part of the classic lines of planets. It’s strange when you’ve been able to memorize the planets ever since you were a kid, and for the future will have to leave this poor little icy rock out.
Definitely a different take on the IAU’s decision to revoke Pluto’s planethood — and it makes a great computer “wallpaper” to boot! While you’re on Mathias’ site, take time to check out his other work too — it’s all really well done.

I’m studying why is Pluto out of the solar system and it makes me feel confused cause I’ve always memorized the planets for being 9 planets and i don’t even know if the three new planets discovered will be added to the solar system or not??
