Hi, my name is Ben Ten living in North America. I am a student of Bachelors Part – II and a book wormer. I interested in astronomy and I prefer to search for information about astronomy. I want to have some necessary knowledge about astronomy. I especially draw my attention in Planet Pluto. I introduce my website, which contain the useful information about Pluto planet and some Facts about planet Pluto. There are also some pictures of Pluto. I hope that, they will provide to you useful knowledge about astronomy in general and Pluto in particular.

1. Astrology in Action – Pluto
People who are fascinated with Astrology often read newspapers and check
out their horoscopes to see what their luck would be. Astrology can work if you
believe in it. Money, love, pleasure, happiness and satisfaction are the things we
want in life, so how does Astrology work for you in these aspects? It may seem
complicated, but once you learn the basics, it will take care of itself. For example,
a person’s sun sign indicates the constellation where the sun was when he/she was
born. The moon sign is also
important because it is the sign of
the zodiac that the moon occupied
when, and where a person was born.
These are the basics, so it is
important to know that the Sun
offers hope and gives out energy,
while the Moon changes a person’s
mood in any day. The planets are
associated with our lives and
influence us in varying degrees. For
now, let us focus with Pluto. It
symbolizes deep transformation in a
person’s life. As the ruler of intense
energy, Pluto is about how a person exercises control his own life. It also is the
god of wealth, hidden treasures and “power” over people.
In the big picture, Pluto will make a person look back at his life and see it as
a major transformation. Nothing is permanent, but change and Pluto can alter a
person’s life this way. One must not expect changes right away because it would
be slow and gradual. He must learn to relax and deal with things in a calm manner.
Pluto can shape a person’s identity and give him a purpose in life.
When it comes to love, Pluto will help a person change his/her perspective
when it comes to emotions and values. A man or woman can look good when they
wear new clothes and the right temperament when it comes to love. It would
improve their self-esteem, so lovers should feel excited when they reach a high
level of maturity. Pluto can make a tantalizing transformation in anyone’s life for
as long as that person knows how to channel his emotions and turn it to positive
energy. People should take note because love matters very much.
Mystery and spiritual experiences can excite a person’s senses and Pluto will
make sure that his/her insights would be sound. Living in the present is a positive

2. way for a person to live. Looking at the future can bring negative thoughts,
especially if things are not going as planned. Pluto will teach discipline and how a
person should deal with negative or positive circumstances. Humility should be
practiced at all times, so no one can be accused of being arrogant or egotistical.
For all the energy a person can exert, Pluto will teach him, or she to relax, so
sleep – of all things is tantamount. A person may be drained by traumatic events or
become frustrated at times, so sleep will rest his mind and he would be energized
when he wakes up. One must not
go into vices because these will
warp the mind. Pluto will teach
you how to channel positive
emotions and your dreams may
come true. This is Astrology in
action and Pluto symbolizes
change, regeneration and
transformation. A person should let
the planets influence his/her life, so
there would be good results.
Pluto - Cast Off and Treated Like a Bum
Being cast off is a very painful thing. Perhaps a person would feel very
lonely because he is treated as a pariah in his own backyard and sent off to exile.
In Roman mythology, Pluto is the god of the Underworld. Unlike his more
powerful siblings, he lives alone in his lonely and desolate kingdom. Just recently,
the planet Pluto was unceremoniously downgraded from a planet to a “dwarf
planet.” For being a tiny planet with bigger and more massive neighbors like Eris
and Charon, it was stripped off and nudged out of our solar system by a group of
astronomers, who thought it was the right thing to do scientifically.
Pluto maybe a cold and unfeeling planet, but many people were hurt by the
findings. Even if it is a distant planet, Pluto was already in the mindset of most
people who loves Astronomy. Imagine their consternation when they received the
news that Pluto was discarded and sentenced to be with other celestial beings in a
place called the Kuiber belt. They felt outraged because Pluto was condemned to
eternally wander in that place and worse, be eventually forgotten as just another

3. icy planet. For many other astronomers, the decision was really a crime to the
point that they are going to appeal the controversial decision.
Astronomers have long been fascinated with the cosmos, studied planets and
explored the Universe, but casting off Pluto was deemed as an insult to the
sensibilities of the average person on Earth. For all of its perceived
“shortcomings” as a planet, Pluto was a planet that people grew up with. It is a
distant, but beautiful celestial body in the cosmos and can only be viewed by the
most advanced telescopes. Pluto being downgraded was humiliating, but for it to
be brushed aside as another
insignificant ball of ice and rock,
was like adding salt to the
wounds. Moreover, it would take
years or even decade for the
ordinary earthling to accept that
it is no longer part of the solar
system.
What galls people though is
the apparent indifference of
many astronomers to Pluto’s plight. Like typical elitists, they shrugged off the
notion that this tiny planet is significant in people’s lives and they could not
comprehend what the fuss is all about. However, the controversy would not go
away easily. The number of astronomers who voted to downgrade Pluto pale to the
growing number of people and scientists worldwide, who want to put this poor
planet to its rightful place in the solar system. For now, the status quo remains and
Pluto wanders around its lonely axis, far distant from its neighbors and it only gets
close to Neptune of all planets.
For now, scientists will study about the mighty Sun and how many billions of
years it will last until it ages. It will eventually become a giant star that will
happen beyond our lifetime and become a dwarf star when it burns out. Poor Pluto
will have to wait for more dynamic discoveries and the growing dissenting
opinions of other astronomers for it to be welcomed back into the fold. Hope is not
lost though. Nothing in this world is permanent, but change. People thought that
the Earth was flat centuries ago. The astronomers who casted off Pluto might be
proven wrong in the long run, eventually.

4. Pluto and It's Largest Moon
Pluto is officially no longer a planet. The International Astronomical Union
downgraded it as a “dwarf planet.” It was not massive enough to fit into the
Union’s standards on how it should clear its orbital neighborhood of similar-sized
objects. In fact, Pluto is even smaller than the satellites of other planets in the solar
system. Moreover, it is even smaller than another Edgeworth-Kuiper object called
Eris, which is only slightly larger than Pluto.
Unlike the other planets in the
solar system, Pluto’s satellite moon
Charon, named after the boatman in
Greek mythology, who brought the
dead across the River Styx to
Pluto’s (God of the Underworld)
realm is much larger and is called a
double planet. It is possible that
Charon was formed after it collided
with another celestial body. Pluto
rotates the sun in 6.4 days, which is
similar as Charon. They rotate
synchronously with each other’s
orbit, which is not the case with the
other planets and their moon satellites. The tidal effects of Pluto and Charon have
locked both into a mutual orbit resonance, which makes them for a dumbbell
spinning in space. Thus, both are facing one another while rotating. Moreover,
they are very close to one another, like Earth and its moon.
Pluto was discovered way back in 1930, while Charon was only discovered
in 1978 by Jim Christy. The reason is that the two celestial bodies were blurred,
while being view by ground-based telescopes. Technological advancements like
the Hubble SpaceTelescope made it possible to view Pluto and Charon, which
unfortunately was one of the bases of Pluto being downgraded as a “dwarf planet.”
Charon is the largest moon in the solar system and also with respect to its primary
planet, Pluto. It does not have a significant atmosphere though based on studies.
Both, Charon and Pluto are located in the Kuiber Belt, a place that is very
dark and isolated, so it is likened to the underworld. These two can be hardly seen

5. by most telescopes, except for the Hubble Telescope. They are different though
when it comes to atmospheric color. Charon’s atmosphere is colored neutral gray
and bluer than Pluto’s. The moon’s surface seems to be abundant with water ice, in
contrast with Pluto’s which is nitrogen ice. Since both are very distant, the
atmosphere temperatures of both are extremely cold.
Very little is known
though about Pluto and
Charon when it comes to the
appearance of their surfaces.
These celestial bodies are
very tiny, fuzzy objects that
even the Hubble Space
Telescope has trouble in
describing their surface
features. Certain studies
though suggest that the two
worlds have contrasting
surfaces. Pluto’s surface is
composed of ice and rock,
which is made up of carbon monoxide and methane. Charon on the other hand is
not, but is made up of several ices. Moreover, it has a history of active geology,
even with its frigid surface.
Astronomers to this day have more questions than answers regarding Charon
and Pluto. A future space probe may hopefully prove fruitful in the future and
possibly show us unprecedented details about these two dark and unusual worlds.
Until then, astronomers can only rely on the Hubble Space Telescope for
telescopic data. Be as it may, Both Pluto and Charon remind us how beautiful and
mysterious our Universe is.
