Pluto
The beloved dwarf planet at the edge of the solar system/Planets
Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006 but remains one of the most fascinating objects in the outer solar system. NASA's New Horizons flyby in 2015 revealed a heart-shaped nitrogen-ice glacier, towering water-ice mountains, and a thin atmosphere. Pluto is smaller than Earth's Moon.
