Pluto Has A Ring

He and Goofy are engaged?

[Peter from Rutland]

Eh. Who cares, it’s not a planet, right? If it was we’d have 11 or 12 planets now but that’s too inconvenient.

By comparison, the main ring of Uranus has a transparency of between 0.5 and 2.5.

That's getting personal.

We’ll know in a couple of years.

Hey, now!

This little planetoid has a lot of interesting things about it, it’s like a mini-Saturnian system.

So they’re using Hubble to get a view of Pluto, but the pictures leave much to be desired. I understand optics enough to understand how they could see so far away, but why couldn’t terrestrial multi-optic telescopes get a really clear view of Pluto from here? For that matter, why can’t Hubble or other high-powered scopes get better, closer, clearer views of planets in our solar system? It seems we’re creating scopes that can see farther and farther out, but we can’t get close-up, high-resolution images of plants in our own solar system.

Thank goodness New Horizons got off before Pluto was deplanitized.

Give us back our planet!
