things sherlock holmes has canonically done:

scrapbooked the hell out of his newspapers

put on a hat that was too big for him 

giggled

cried because lestrade was nice to him

got all sappy and romantic by smelling a rose

let a puppy lead him on adventures

“impish mood”

lit his pipe with an ember from the fireplace because he thought it looked cool

feel free to add to this

Ten interesting facts about Pluto

Here is a list of some interesting facts about Pluto. A dwarf planet with a very different geology than previously thought, and despite being a small celestial body - Pluto has its own moons.

Pluto was known as the smallest planet in the solar system and the ninth planet from the sun until it was reclassified by the International Astronomical Union in 2006.

Today, Pluto is called a dwarf planet. A dwarf planet orbits the sun just like other planets, but it is smaller. It is large enough for its gravity to pull it into the shape of a ball but it is too small to clear other objects and debris out of its path around the sun.

Pluto was discovered on February 18th, 1930 by the Lowell Observatory. For the 76 years between Pluto being discovered and the time it was reclassified as a dwarf planet it completed under a third of its orbit around the Sun.

On average, Pluto is more than 3.6 billion miles (5.8 billion kilometers) away from the sun. That is about 40 times as far from the sun as Earth is. Pluto orbits the sun in an oval like a racetrack. Because of its oval orbit, Pluto is sometimes closer to the sun than at other times. At its closest point to the sun Pluto is still billions of miles away but is actually closer than Neptune.

This dwarf planet has five moons. Its largest moon is named Charon (KAIR-uhn). Charon is about half the size of Pluto. 

Pluto has four other, much smaller, moons. They are named Nix, Hydra, Kerberos, and Styx. They were discovered in 2005, 2005, 2011, and 2012, respectively. NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope took pictures of the new moons. All four are small.

Observations of Pluto’s surface by the New Horizons spacecraft revealed a variety of surface features, including mountains that reach as high as 11,000 feet (3,500 meters), comparable to the Rocky Mountains on Earth. While methane and nitrogen ice cover much of the surface of Pluto, these materials are not strong enough to support such enormous peaks, so scientists suspect that the mountains are formed on a bedrock of water ice.

Pluto’s surface is one of the coldest places in the solar system, at roughly minus 375 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 225 degrees Celsius). When compared with past images, pictures of Pluto taken by the Hubble Space Telescope revealed that the dwarf planet had apparently grown redder over time, apparently due to seasonal changes.

When Pluto is closer to the sun, its surface ices thaw and temporarily form a thin atmosphere, consisting mostly of nitrogen, with some methane. 

Pluto’s low gravity, which is a little more than one-twentieth that of Earth’s, causes this atmosphere to extend much higher in altitude than Earth’s.

Unexpected Visitor

He was walking across campus, heading to the dorms after Astronomy Club, barely paying attention as he was focused on the book he was ready, only to bump into someone. He looks up, about to apologize, only to freeze when he sees a clown, a scream clawing up his throat, wanting to come out only for a small whimper to slip through

“Hey, didn’t see ya there! Say, ya wanna see me make a balloon animal or dunk my friend in the vat of water?” the clown asks, pointing to show that there were more clowns, making Logan back away in terror, clinging to his bag and book tightly, not seeing @ask-fanciful-roman was nearby.

He nods, squirming a bit before grabbing a fry, nibbling on it “Okay, then next time I will pay” he grabs a slice and smiles at it before eating it quietly “Thank you”

"To pay for my half of the-" he snaps his mouth shit and watches him with wide eyes as he tosses his wallet back in the backpack. "But...is it not customary to give those who buy something for me, money for my share?" He asks quietly, suddenly shy and feeling out of place

He hums and sits up, reaching into his backpack for his wallet “I was just thinking and such. Thank you for the food, how much do I need to pay you?”

He nods, fiddling with his pen before drinking some of his water before gong back to the papers before him. Not even five minutes later he was on the floor, spread eagle as he takes in the silence, looking at the hidden designs on the ceiling.
