Pluto is the farthest planet from our sun except since 2006 this hunk of ice and rock has been downgraded to a dwarf planet. It was, at first, downgraded to a astroid being smaller than Mercury. Later scientists found that Pluto has five moons. One almost its own size! Astroids can't have moons so Pluto got an upgrade. Pluto has probably has the most curious orbit going in a funky oval and intersecting Neptune's orbit. Over the years scientists have found over 800 dwarf planets in our solar system. Pluto has got a lot of company! Pluto was found when scientists were studying Neptune when they spied the dwarf planet. Pluto is one of the most known planets in our solar system because of its many reclassifications. The Hubble telescope has been getting us pictures of Pluto for some time know. With technology helping us we will be able to understand this little piece of rock in our solar system.
