The planet one includes Pluto but not Ceres or Eris or Haumea or Makemake. I AM VERY OFFENDED BY THIS.

The solar system (simplified version without all the comet gizmos and whatnot).
Pluto is a planet. He’s my bro.Look at Pluto coming out of nowhere like some sort of elliptical rebel.

Pluto in true color
Pluto is mostly brown. The above picture captures the true colors of Pluto as well as the highest surface resolution so far recovered. No spacecraft has yet visited this most distant planet in our Solar System. The above map was created by tracking brightness changes from Earth of Pluto during times when it was being partially eclipsed by its moon Charon. The map therefore shows the hemisphere of Pluto that faces Charon. Pluto’s brown color is thought dominated by frozen methane deposits metamorphosed by faint but energetic sunlight. The dark band below Pluto’s equator is seen to have rather complex coloring, however, indicating that some unknown mechanisms may have affected Pluto’s surface.

4 for you, FAO Schwarz, you go FAO Schwarz.
American astronomer Clyde Tombaugh discovered Pluto, the ninth planet in our solar system, on February 18, 1930. Many key questions about Pluto, it’s moon Charon, and the outer fringes of our solar system await close-up observations.
A proposed NASA mission called New Horizons, depicted in the artist’s concept above, would use miniature cameras, radio science experiments, ultraviolet and infrared spectrometers and space plasma experiments to study Pluto and Charon, map their surface compositions and temperatures, and examine Pluto’s atmosphere in detail.
