Pluto Day: A day to celebarte the discovery of a dwarf planet

There was a time when the solar system was considered to have nine planets, including Pluto. On one fine day, it was suddenly decided that pluto should be removed from the list of planets and we were left to study about eight planets in the solar system.

It becomes difficult for everyone who has studied about nine planets to believe that there are eight planets in the solar system. It was then considered to be a dwarf planet. Pluto Day celebrates the discovery of Pluto in 1930 when it was said to be a planet and it should have stayed the same way.

The story of the Pluto discovery goes back to 1840s when Urbain Le Verrier said that there was a planet outside Uranus which was not Pluto but Neptune. Pluto was discovered similarly like Neptune. Uranus's orbit was discovered by some other planet other than Neptune.

Then a Planet X which was later known as Pluto was discovered in a search led by Percival Lowell. Lowell passed from this mortal coil before Pluto's discovery without any knowledge of the same. During his survey in search for Planet X, there were two faint smudges which were actually of Pluto.

Clyde Tombaugh was the first one to discover Pluto in 1930. After so many years and so many people who searched for it, it should be renamed as a planet.

The best way to celebrate Pluto Day is to read and learn more about the planet. It has a very interesting history and there is a composition of familiar substances on the planet. Pluto was actually named by Venetia Burney an 11-year-old who was greatly influenced by classical mythology.
