A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Solar System - Pluto

In case you’ve been living under a rock these are the pictures that were recently taken of Pluto, a planet that has never previously been photographed in this much detail. 

With a diameter of 2368 km things that are bigger than it include the moon, the perimeter of the Bermuda triangle and the country of Russia. 

However it remains a crucial area of our solar system due to how little we know about it, which is quite a feat given human persistence and the fact that we’ve known about it since 1930. Bravo Pluto. Such a small ball of rock and ice which has been the heart of so many debates on a world 5 planets away, it might be small, but Pluto is no less important than any other planet.
