Pluto: Dwarf Planet

Just because something is smaller does not make it something else. Research suggests that Pluto should be reinstated as a planet because it meets the requirements of and behaves like a planet, has seasons, and less than half of the astronomers voted to make Pluto a dwarf planet. The definition of what a planet is has changed from this definition. “A celestial body distinguished from the fixed stars by having an apparent motion of its own (including the moon and sun), especially with reference to its supposed influence on people and events “.To this definition.

It was the first new planet to be discovered by scientists. When it finally came time to name the planet, Herschel suggested naming the planet after his patron, King George III, in which it would have translated to Georgium Sidus, or George’s Star. Outside the limits of England, most people did not appreciate that suggestion. Other names suggested included his own last name, and ironically the name Neptune. In the end, Herman astronomer Johann Elert Bode named the planet after the ancient Greek god of the sky.

In one of the notes to Herschel, one of his colleagues Charles Messier stated: "I am amazed with this

It was later discovered that it obtained 27 miniature moons as well as enclosed in 13 faint rings. In addition, Uranus was given the title, “The rolling planet.” due to its unique 98 degree tilt, making the planet appear as if it is rotated on its side, orbiting

While there may be one billion trillion stars within the known universe, the number of habitable planets such as Earth, in the Milky Way Galaxy, pales in comparison at a mere forty billion. While not all are completely safe to colonize in the near future, it still bears a shocking revelation to the fortune humans have been blessed with.  With knowledge such as this available to the common civilian, it is astonishing how the human race has treated the poor, ever-decaying planet we inhabit. In due time, it will be vital to the success of the human race to leave the once beloved planet for dead and move on.

Fiesta Time "Close inspection of the central bulge shows many points of light that are actually globular clusters. M104 's spectacular dust rings harbor many younger and brighter stars, and show intricate details astronomers don 't yet fully understand," stated the NASA website Astronomy Picture Of The Day in a July 2013 entry. Examination of the

John Herschel discovered Uranus in 1781 while searching for double stars. There had been recent developments in Newton’s mathematics that would allow astronomers to calculate the orbits of celestial bodies and he wanted to learn more about the physical nature of stars. When he first saw Uranus through his seven-foot reflecting telescope, he thought it was a comet. Very few astronomers believed there was a possibility of more planets, other than the five they knew of, the moon, and the sun. It wasn’t until a Russian astronomer calculated the orbit of the “comet”, following a slow moving path, that it was determined that it was a planet.

The highly public sojourn into what the Star Trek franchise refers to as “the Final Frontier” has been debated for decades amongst scholars and scientists. Mankind has been in awe of the stars and planets surrounded by the vast expanse of space for thousands of years, and now we have the technology and motivation of enough people to debark from our home planet. We have successfully put men on the moon, and the next step is the colonization of the dusty red planet named after the God of War. I am adamant that the Mars expeditions are necessary to prevent the overpopulation of the earth, save humanity from the depletion of resources that sustain life, and further the knowledge and prosperity of the citizens on current and future planets.

Colonizing Mars Mars is often voted by people as being the most likely place for humans to colonize after we are done with Earth. This is often said because of Mars’s similar size to Earth and similar climate. However, Mars might not be the best place to go when we decide to make our first extra-terrestrial home. Whether you believe we should colonize another planet or not, evidence proves that moving to Venus is both logical and cost effective. There is much more promise in visiting Venus and much more we can learn.

Mars’s two satellites are Phobias and Demos, which scientist believed are captured asteroids. Mars was named after the God of War. Interestingly, this is the complete opposite of love, the god that Venus was named after. Mars does not have as many volcanoes as Venus. However, Mars has the largest volcano in the solar system called Olympus Mons.

You see, the astronauts that are chosen to go, they won’t be coming back. They will have to stay and live the rest of their lives on Mars. So, if somebody there feels they need to return to Earth, that won’t necessarily be an option. Many people argue that this is unethical because of how extreme and difficult life on Mars will be. Since Mars is much further from the Sun, its temperatures tend to be much lower than Earth 's, with an average temperature of -81 degrees F. (mars.nasa.gov)

Why is Pluto considered a dwarf planet? People consider Pluto as the dwarf planet and that it is too small to be considered an actual planet. Pluto is the 9th planet away from the sun and it still orbits the sun but it takes 248 years which is a very long time. Being the 9th planet furthest from the sun this might also be a reason for why Pluto is considered a Dwarf planet due to the length and how hard it will be to see it from earth.

Pluto is a dwarf planet that is located in the Kuiper belt. It was the first object to be found in the Kuiper belt. If you were to look into the night sky and find the constellation of Sagittarius, Pluto is located in about the center of it. Originally considered a planet when it was found by Clyde Tombaugh and named by Venetia Burney. Pluto is named after the Roman god of the Underworld.

On The Waterfront directed by Elia Kazan, and written by Budd Schulberg tells a story about a group of labor racketeers in Hoboken, New Jersey. Terry Malloy, one of the main characters, works for the union head and at the end of the movie is faced with a tough decision to either testify in court against his friends and become a so called “rat”, or do the wrong thing and disappoint his lover Edie. Terry portrays himself having a tough exterior, yet he is extremely conflicted and vulnerable on the inside. A common theme throughout this movie are pigeons and I believe they symbolize who Terry Malloy is as a character. Birds are known for being confined in cages and are restricted from spreading their wings to fly.
