Turn your heart to the stars
Fun fact: Those of us taught the "nine planets" thing between 1979-1999 were lied to (in a way). Not just because of Pluto's weird status, but because it was the eighth planet from the sun during those two decades. Its orbit is so off kilter to the rest of the planets that it switches positions (relative to the sun, not orbits) with Neptune.
And remember kids, Pluto isn't a planet unless Ceres, Makemake, Haumea, and Eris are, too! Ceres was discovered 129 years before Pluto (1801 vs 1930), Eris is slightly bigger (and was going to become the 10th planet, which sparked the need for further classification in what constitutes a planet), Makemake and Haumea are bigger than Ceres.
Ceres and Makemake* doesn't have [known] moons, so maybe you can ignore them for being little and moonless (rude--Ceres was originally classified as a planet, just like Pluto!), but Eris definitely deserves its name remembered. *(Makemake does have a known moon!)
We may actually have up to fifty dwarf planets (which are still planets, just little) in our solar system, and either a massive exoplanet that we can't see yet or a teeny black hole (5cm) out past Neptune, based on the same kind of data that originally found Pluto! (It wasn't actually seen for quite a while after its existence was hypothesized by its effects on the orbits of Neptune and Uranus).
Anyway, hope you enjoyed learning with me!

(31.03.2024) Happy Birthday, Makemake!
“Huh? My 'birthday'? I almost forgot what that was. But you know what I haven't forgotten? That someday you could visit me the way you visited Ceres and Pluto! I need to look my best that day. I'll be waiting!"
Makemake was first discovered on 31 March 2005. His nickname is "Easterbunny", as he was then discovered a few days after Easter. However this year, we celebrate his birthday right on Easter Sunday itself!

What does Makemake look like when she had arms?
Like this! Her arms had a similar pattern to her legs.
Also she and Haumea are a couple so I wanted to draw them holding hands

Planet-noodles?
Planet-noodles!
They have no legs because they don't need those in space where there is no ground...they are ground. (At least some of them are...some are gas)

Listen, I get it if you like Pluto and want it to be a planet-it is classified as a dwarf planet but who cares about classification? Pluto can be a planet if you want. What makes me mad is that nobody ever wants to include the other dwarf planets!
I love you Pluto!
I love you Ceres!
I love you Eris!
I love you Haumea!
I love you Makemake!
I love you Quaoar and Sedna and Orcus and Gonggong!!!!
And you know, if Pluto isn't a planet, if he doesn't get to sit at the big planet's table, I think he is still in excellent company
