"So if Pluto really is a planet, it is certainly an odd one. It is very tiny: just one-quarter of 1 percent as massive as Earth. If you set it down on top of the United States, it would cover not quite half the lower forty-eight states."
Ever since I was in Elementary School I have been fascinated with out solar system. I used to write page long essays about each planet on my own time and share them with my family. But I never knew that Pluto was actually that small. Through my research I learned that it was a small planet but not so small that it wouldn't even cover the United States. It messes with your brain a little bit. When you think of a planet you'd usually think of this massive ball that is extremely far away but when you learn that Pluto could fit within Earth, it kind of catches you off guard.
Question: Are there other living beings in the universe? With the universe being so big there has to be.
