Cobalt

For those who are interested, I have made some observations on the metal cobalt. There is too much to list in a post so I compiled it on a basic website.

Does it annoy anyone else that Pluto's minor planet number is 134340?

I think demoting it is one thing, but giving it that random Arbitrary Number is another. Varuna and Quaoar got 20000 and 50000 respectively to celebrate them, but Pluto doesnt even get 135000 or anything?

It technically would have been 1164 after 1163 Saga, but I could see why it was too late to change it at that point.

EDIT: This have nothing to do with the song of the same name btw

Pluto was never "demoted".

In fact, it was actually PROMOTED from the smallest planet to the king of the Kuiper Belt.

If Pluto isn't a planet, then Earth isn't a planet 🤷

The NEW RULES I CREATED which classifies planets.

  1. It orbits a star
  2. It orbits in a predictable pattern
  3. It is large enough for its gravity to make it spherical
  4. It is not a satillete of another planet.

This just shows how stupid and incomplete the IAU’s planet criteria are

Orbital inclination question, does Pluto ever leave the zodiac constellations?

I googled and could find an answer. I know Pluto has a large orbit inclined at 17 degrees, so I would imagine that its path in the night sky would deviate further from the ecliptic than other planets. But does it ever leave the zodiac constellations? I checked where it is right now and found that it is currently in Sagittarius. Thanks.

I have always wanted to be a graphic designer since I was around 11 -I'm now 13. I've always been interested in space and different planets. Pluto interested me the most because of its history and location. So I really wanted to design a t-shirt to celebrate Pluto and this is my latest redesign.
