Pluto & Eris, die 2 größten bekannten Zwergplaneten. Pluto ist sehr etwas größer als ERIS, aber ERIS hat 27% mehr Masse. Die Entdeckung von ERIS (ursprünglich als 10. Planet von der NASA bezeichnet) führte zu einer neuen Definition von Planeten. Das Bild von Eris hier ist die Konzeption eines Künstlers, Plutos Bild wurde von New Horizons aufgenommen.

Is any mission interested in Eris?? will we get some real pictures of that dwarf planet anytime future??
Fun fact: Eris is the most distant dwarf planet in the solar system, and is 96 times further from the sun than Earth.
So, Eris is spectacularly DENSE? Does this mean its mostly metallic, or what?
„A portion of Clyde Tombaugh’s ashes were included on NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft when it launched towards Pluto in 2006. The spacecraft, carrying the ashes in a small canister, traveled for nine years to make the first exploration of Pluto. The New Horizons probe reached Pluto in 2015, and the ashes were on board for that historical flyby.“
Well, we have to fix this injustice.
Eris is now a planet (by mass). Pluto, still not.
There, that should make *everyone* happy!
