Liam O'Mara IV, PhDThe only #asteroid known to have been gravitationally rounded is #Ceres, now classified as a #DwarfPlanet, and discovered on #ThisDayInHistory in 1801 by the Italian priest #GiuseppePiazzi. Fans of #TheExpanse series know we should have already hollowed it out and colonized it.😜
On #ThisDayInHistory in 2003, the #DwarfPlanet #Sedna was found by astronomers at #Palomar Observatory in San Diego County, CA. Tied with #Ceres as the largest such object with no moon, its density is presently unknown. Its transneptunian orbit around Sol takes over 11000 years.
LotharMucki 🦄Wurde 2006 eigentlich auch Sailor Pluto bei den Sailor-Guardians rausgeschmissen? 🥺
Ist sie nur noch Dwarf-Guardian?
Das sind Fragen, die ich mir stelle…

Sailor Pluto
Sailor Pluto ist die Wächterin des Tores von Raum und Zeit und eine der Kriegerinnen des äußeren Kreises, bzw. "Outer Senshi". Ihre zivile Identität ist Setsuna Meio. Sailor Pluto ist eine sehr einsame Kriegerin, da sie ihren Platz am Tor von Raum und Zeit nie verlassen darf. Ihre einzige Freundin ist Chibiusa, die sie liebevoll "Kleine Lady" nennt. Chibiusa nennt Pluto "Puu". Sailor Pluto übergibt Chibiusa den Zeitschlüssel, mit dem diese in die Vergangenheit, ins Tokio des 20. Jahrhunderts…
On #ThisDayInHistory in 2003, the #DwarfPlanet #Eris was first seen orbiting in the #KuiperBelt beyond Neptune. Larger than #Pluto, with a surface area like South America, its discovery triggered Pluto's loss of status, which suits its being named for the goddess of discord. 😉

I’m always blown away by the beauty of Pluto, and came across this again recently. There’s an obvious reason to love this pic, and NASA saved one of its best discoveries until last…
This image is a composite of four images and uses data from multiple cameras to present an "enhanced color image" of Pluto.
