By 0 Comments
| New Horizon has given us a wealth of information about the solar system’s favorite dwarf planet.
It’s not really Newport-related, being approximately 4.67 billion miles from Thames Street, but it’s taken over our social media feeds and it’s a lot more interesting than some dad who can’t explain to his children why Princess Leia is wearing a metal bikini.
So this is what we know about Pluto so far, as explained by XKCD…
There is of, of course, a scarier alternative…
That’s no dwarf planet!
There’s also the possibility that the New Horizon gets lost, lands on an unknown planet and start starts feeling all the trees.
“We’re on Pluto!”
“How can you tell?”
“Because of the bark!”
