You should go to Pluto because of its unique
features. Pluto is 50 75 rock mixed with ices.
Methane and traces of carbon monoxide are also
present. This will help provide the best skiing
adventure for you and your family! From Plutos
surface, the sun appears as only a very bright
star. So no need to bring sun block! Pluto has a
satellite, Charon. Some prefer to think of
Pluto/Charon as a double planet rather than a
planet and a moon. Pluto has a 249 year orbit.
Its surface is believed to reach temperatures as
low as 240 degrees. So remember to bring your
ski gear and warm clothes. Because Pluto and
Charons orbits are aligned, an eclipse can be
seen every Pluto day.

Where is Pluto?

HST view (right).
Pluto is usually the farthest planet from the
sun. Pluto is 5,914,520,000 km from the sun, and
depending on its orbit around 4.4 billion km
from earth. Pluto and Charon are 19,640 km apart.
Usually,in an normal spacecraft, it would take
you 6-8 years from Earth to Pluto.When Pluto is
past its perihelion, the atmosphere freezes and
falls to the surface. When it nears its
perihelion it becomes a gas and thats guests
arrive. There will be many ice and snow sports
available. For 1,000 extra, you can also explore
Charon. Plutos only known satellite for a day!
It will only take an hour to get there thanks to
our spacecrafts.

Historic Museum!
Pluto doesnt really have that much history. It
was discovered in February 18th, 1930 by Clyde W.
Tombaugh. The planet was discovered by an
fortunate accident, Tombaugh was trying to find
Planet X, but found Pluto instead. Charon was
discovered in 1978 just before its orbital plane
moved edge-on toward the inner solar system. The
Pluto was thought to be larger because the planet
and its moons images were blurred together.
Some still prefer to think of Pluto and Charon as
a double planet rather than a moon. Pluto was
named after the Roman God of the Underworld,
Hades, because of its coldness. Charon was named
after the mythological figure who ferried the
dead across the River Acheron into the
underworld. Pluto was thought to be wandering
individually in space, then was captured by the
sun.
