4.9/5 (16808 ratings)

Description:From the back: That Pluto is not longer a planet, but, is instead, since 2006, classed as a dwarf planet is not widely known. Most still remember, vividly, the nine planets they were taught in their early years in school. We do not have nine planets anymore. We have eight planets, and at least for now, five dwarf planets one of which, Eris, is bigger than Pluto. Another of the dwarfs, Ceres, discovered in 1801, lies in the asteroid belt--between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Eris, on the other hand, wanders such a long, long way from the Sun that it takes 557 Earth-years to complete one orbit around the Sun. Sedna, likely to be classed as a dwarf planet sometime in the future, travels even further away from the Sun, while still being a part of our Solar System, such that it is estimated that its orbital period around the Sun is around 12,000 years! In 2011, as this book goes to print, there are two robotic NASA spacecrafts, New Horizons and Dawn, hurtling through space towards two of the dwarf planets. So, suffice to say, this is the time to get to know the dwarf planets in our Solar System.This book is meant to be an easy to follow, why, when, what, and where guide to dwarf planets for pre- and young teenagers, as well as for their parents and teachers. This book will bring you up-to-date on the latest developments within our Solar System and hopefully ignite (or reignite) a love for the wonders of the night sky.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
