Picture by/Imagen de Christina Balit Pluto was the ruler of the underworld in classical mythology. The earlier name for the god was Hades, which became more common as the name of the underworld as a place. Pluto presides over the afterlife. He is also a god of wealth, because mineral wealth was found underground, and ruled the deep earth that contained the seeds necessary for a bountiful harvest. Pluto's Roman equivalent were Dis Pater and Orcus, but a Latinized Pluto became the most common name for the classical ruler of the underworld in subsequent Latin literature and other art forms. Tributes of Pluto are his scepter, keys, throne, and horses, he also wears a cloak or helmet, which makes him go invisible. The best-known myth involving Pluto or Hades is the abduction of Persephone, also known as Kore or Proserpina (Latin). __________ Plutón era el gobernante del inframundo en la mitología clásica. Anteriormente era conocido con el nombre de Hades, pero el nombre de Plu...

In the following link, you will find an entertaining tour through the Solar System, with allits major bodies. It's interesting to see in scale the distance between planets. Note that Eris is called Xena (provisional name when it was discovered). Makemake and Haumea had not yet been classified as dwarf planets when this program first saw the light. Hope you like it. To take the tour, click the link below: ___________________ En el siguiente link, encontraréis un entretenido paseo por el Sistema Solar, con los planetas más importantes. Es interesante ver "a escala" la distancia entre planetas. Observad que Eris es llamado Xena (su nombre provisional cuando fue descubierto).

Pluto is the second dwarf planet in the solar system and is part of a binary planetary system with its "satellite" Charon. Charon becomes more than just a satellite, as presenting about the 50% of a dual system. For years it has been considered a "planet" but since 2006 reverted to its category of "dwarf" planet. Pluto has an extremely thin atmosphere, consisting of nitrogen, methane and carbon monoxide, which freezes and collapses on its surface as the planet moves away from the Sun. Pluto's orbit is highly eccentric compared to the rest and for 20 of the 249 years that needs to cover it, it is closer to the Sun than Neptune. Charon is 1192 kilometers in diameter and is 19,640 kilometers from the planet Pluto has a diameter of 2.390. They have been regarded as a double planet not only because their masses are similar, but because the centroid is outside of Pluto and both orbiting around that point. The Pluto-Charon binary system also has two satell...
