Pluto

BACK IN MY DAYS, THE SOLAR SYSTEM HAD 9 PLANETS

Some information

It was the first and the largest Kuiper belt object to be discovered.

Pluto is named after the Roman god of the underworld

The object formerly known as the planet Pluto was discovered on February 18, 1930 at the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, by astronomer Clyde W. Tombaugh, with contributions from William H. Pickering.

Is It Habitable?

At first glance, this would seem like a poor place to search for life. Nonetheless, NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft collected evidence that suggests Pluto possesses many of the characteristics required for life. It might even rank alongside more popular candidates for habitability, such as the icy moons Europa and Titan.
