Well, hello there, isn’t space all out there, wild? Many would be surprised to know that Venus rotates in the opposite direction, and therefore has sun rises in the west and sets in the east. Totally mind-blowing! Cool Pluto fact! Thanks for sharing that with me.

Pluto, classified as a dwarf planet in our solar system, has an orbital period of approximately 248 Earth years. It was discovered in 1930 by Clyde Tombaugh and was considered the ninth planet in our solar system until its reclassification by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in 2006. Pluto's orbit is highly elliptical, and its distance from the Sun varies significantly during its orbit. It's a fascinating celestial body that continues to intrigue astronomers and space enthusiasts alike!
