How Many?
Flickr21Challenge: Planet
Just another photo I took for the Flickr 21 day photo challenge. A big thank you to my daughter Hope for holding the book for me! xo
The text: How many planets are in our solar system? No one knows. Despite what they told you in school, we have no idea what’s out there. We know that Pluto is some 3.7 billion miles from Earth, but the solar system extends at least another 12 billion miles beyond that, and some scientists suggest it goes a lot farther. So at a minimum, 75 percent of our solar system is still a mystery.
—Zen Science: Stop and Smell the Universe pp. 58–59
P.S. Pluto is now classified as a dwarf planet, which is still a planet in my books! ;)
