So Pluto is actually smaller than our moon…actually, it’s smaller than several moons in the solar system (Ganymede, Titan, Callisto, Io, Europa) and several of those moons are arguably more interesting than Pluto (Titan has a dense atmosphere and liquid methane lakes, Europa has a subsurface ocean beneath its ice sheet). Some scientists think Pluto may have even been a moon at some point, that it is actually an escaped moon of Neptune.
Either way, I think that despite everything we like Pluto specifically because of it’s oddball status. It’s so small and yet it punches above it’s weight, it refuses to be conveniently categorized. It goes its own way, refusing to orbit another planet and has its own little system of moons. It’s orbit breaks tradition, sometimes it has an atmosphere and sometimes not…it is the small but mighty rebel who will not play the game.
