A tribute to Pluto


Greg is doing a school project about our solar system this week. He has to create a model showing the sun and all nine planets. Nine planets? Just this week, astronomers decided that Pluto is no longer a real planet. Instead, it will be reclassified in a new category of "dwarf planets".

Greg's teacher, mr. LaPorte was unfazed. He sent a note home that, despite the astronomers decision, he would like the students to include Pluto in their project. And so Greg did. As a tribute to Pluto, he colored the tiny sphere nice and purple.
