Pluto will always be a planet in my book. So is Ceres; Sedna; etc. 8)

Obviously you are non-union :wink:

So, would Pluto / Charon be a double planet?

Welcome to APOD Invisidrone! Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to contemplate infinity for a long time? I do sometimes but the annoying honking at the traffic light distracts me.

Other than Earth, Saturn is the aesthetically coolest planet system IMO. I mean those rings and now the geometric polar storms and the possibly seasonal colors.

Ask a kid to draw a picture of a planet you’re typically going to get a circle with a ring around it. Kids know what’s cool!

In terms of temperature it would be coolest :wink:

... and sent it millions of miles away and it's orbiting the coolest planet in our Solar System.
Maybe the second coolest planet, I would need to give the amazing blue orb of Earth first place.

Also, welcome to APOD!

Looking at the recent Cassini pic from Saturn, I know it has been said a million times, but I still can't get over that human beings built a machine and sent it millions of miles away and it's orbiting the coolest planet in our Solar System. I have a hard time, as I imagine most of us do, trying to contemplate the distance to that planet. It is sooooo far away from here.
