Dungeons and Dwarf Planets - The Movie

We seriously need a movie like this. Please, Alvaro 🙏

But I'm done with this now, yey!! While on vacation, I had some time to do a little artwork like this, hehe, so here we have the Dwarf Planets going against the Evil Moons xD

Dwarf planet Eris is ‘squishier’ than expected

University of California, Santa Cruz Professor of Planetary Sciences Francis Nimmo recently co-authored a Science Advances paper about the internal structure of the dwarf planet Eris. Eris is about the size of Pluto but around 50% farther from the sun. The discovery of Eris in the Kuiper Belt beyond Neptune in 2005 prompted the debate that ultimately reclassified Pluto as a dwarf planet. It was an interest in Pluto that drew UC Santa Cruz researcher Francis Nimmo to study Eris. Nimmo was visiting Michael Brown—one of the discoverers of Eris—at the California Institute of Technology about six months ago and realized some of Brown’s new, unpublished data could help reveal information about the properties of Eris. The two worked on models for the next several months and published their results in a Science Advances paper. Two main pieces of information led to their results. The first important clue is that Eris and its moon, Dysnomia, always face the same way toward each other. The main, unexpected result of Nimmo and Brown’s model is that Eris is surprisingly dissipative, or “squishy”...

Can u draw the dwarf planets?

sure sure ! I've actually only drawn these guys a few times. 😓

Here is a doodle

[afterartist]

Cannot belive they turned Pluto into an AI bro

I will not recover from this

[kiffyjessi]

And here we have it, The full Dwarf Planet crew + Charon (can't leave my girl out)

DWARF PLANETS

+ And of course the unhinged bug

I love them a lot (I don't think there's any character I don't like in solarballs)

All of them have their own charm and their own problems ^^

I still have the weekend off before college starts again so I might make some simple sketches...

- job meetings are so energy draining ah

- Being an adult is so hard sob* sob*

Hmmmmmmmm ⁉️

[koterkot]

i had an idea gang

[planetaryalphabet]

It’s seems ironic that as we got a better view of Pluto, it was reclassified as a dwarf planet (August 24, 2006) by the International Astronomical Union.

New Horizons: Near-sunset view of the rugged, icy mountains and flat ice plains extending to Pluto's horizon (July 14, 2015)

ceres....

I find it interesting... how there is reason (at least in my mind) to why Ceres acts the way he does...

His main thing is throwing things at people, but listen!! He's first introduced in an episode where Mars and Earth playing are dodgeball. He also happens to throw Mars the exact asteroid he's looking for back. He's kind of just playing with them.

I mean besides that one iteration the asteroids he throws at the moons are TIIINYYY those aren't hurting anyone. I don't think he's intending to.

He also looks very surprised to have three moons facing him 😭😭like guys he's just a little awkward doesn't know how to talk to people but he's not intentionally trying to harm people. (ALSO!! He's always hiding from people he's shy ok...)

Maybe this is obvious to people but theres a loud side of the fandom that just makes him an antagonist and its SOO BORINGG!! hes so interesting, look at him pay attention.

[dokidobe]

Wow, so much Lee!Pluto hehe-

Lee!Pluto Ler!Dwarf Planets?

Dwarf Planet Doodles!

Continuing with my silly AU, here are some doodles of the Dwarf Planets and their Moons! And basically how I imagine their interactions to look like (or at least how I imagine it to look like in my AU).

And yeah.. I mayyy be shipping Pluto and Charon a bit, so uhh.. ,:D

ARE THERE ANY OTHER DWARF PLANETS IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM??"

Blog#404

Saturday, May 25th, 2024.

Welcome back,

Our Solar System is filled with diverse and wondrous worlds. From asteroids to gas giants, we’ve sent spacecraft to objects of all shapes and sizes, yet there is still much more to explore.

Among the menagerie of worlds orbiting our Sun are dwarf planets. According to the International Astronomical Union, a dwarf planet is round and circles the Sun like a planet, but has not “cleared the neighborhood” around its orbit. In other words, planets are much more massive than anything orbiting near them, while dwarf planets are not.

This definition, which famously removed planethood status from Pluto in 2006, disqualifies known objects in the main asteroid belt and the Kuiper Belt beyond Neptune from being named as planets.

The IAU currently recognizes five dwarf planets: Ceres, Pluto, Haumea, Makemake, and Eris. Ceres lies in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, while the rest are in the Kuiper Belt.

There are almost certainly more dwarf planets. Unfortunately, most are very far away, and we can’t definitively prove that they are round. Mike Brown, the Caltech astronomer who led teams of scientists that discovered Eris and other distant worlds, maintains a list of candidate dwarf planets ranked from “near certainty” to “probably not.”

Let’s visit the Solar System’s five official dwarf planets, starting from the one closest to the Sun and journeying outward.

Ceres

Ceres is the only IAU-recognized dwarf planet that resides in the main asteroid belt. With a width of about 952 kilometers (592 miles), it is the most diminutive dwarf planet — more than 13 times smaller than Earth. Yet it is by far the largest asteroid, accounting for roughly a third of the mass in the asteroid belt.

Ceres probably has a solid core and icy mantle, on top of which lies a rocky, dusty crust. It may be made of 25 percent ice by mass, making it an attractive water source for humans in science fiction.

The dwarf planet’s surface is speckled with bright salt deposits that may be remnants of briny water leaking to the surface. The source of that water, and how it ended up on the surface, is a topic of ongoing debate. Data from NASA’s Dawn spacecraft, which explored Ceres from 2015 to 2018, suggests a complex scenario where Ceres may contain deep water reservoirs connected to shallow, melted water pockets created by asteroid impacts.

One clue to Ceres’ watery origins is that it could be a protoplanet that formed elsewhere before migrating into the asteroid belt, where Jupiter’s gravity kept any large worlds from forming.

Ceres gets its name from the Roman goddess of agriculture. According to NASA, the word cereal has the same origin.

Pluto

Pluto was our ninth planet until 2006. It is virtually tied with Eris for the largest-sized dwarf planet, with a diameter of about 2,380 kilometers (1,400 miles) — roughly two-thirds the size of Earth’s Moon.

Discovered in 1930, Pluto went unexplored until NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft flew past the icy world in 2015, revealing surprisingly youthful mountains, a pale “heart” of frozen nitrogen, and red patches of complex molecules called tholins.

Pluto may have once had a subsurface ocean. Whether or not it still holds water beneath its surface is less clear, but there’s a chance such an ocean could be habitable, challenging our expectations on where to find life in our Solar System.

After New Horizons completed its Pluto flyby and crossed into the dwarf planet’s shadow, it captured a magnificent halo of blue haze. The haze may be created by atmospheric processes similar to those above Titan.

Pluto is named after the Roman god of the underworld. Its five moons Charon, Styx, Nix, Kerberos, and Hydra have underworld-themed names and circle the dwarf planet in neatly nested orbits. They were likely formed long ago when another object smashed into Pluto, creating debris that coalesced into moons.

Haumea

Haumea may be a dwarf planet, but it boasts rings and moons just like its beefier planetary counterparts. The rings were discovered in 2017 when astronomers watched Haumea pass in front of a star, revealing dips in starlight that could only be explained by the presence of a ring system. Among the telescopes watching were two funded by The Planetary Society’s Shoemaker NEO Grant program.

Haumea makes a full rotation in just four hours. Its high-speed spin distorts the dwarf planet’s shape, giving it an egg-like appearance. It measures roughly 2,322 kilometers (1,442 miles) across its longest axis. Another object may have slammed into Haumea in the past, giving it its fast rotation rate.

Haumea is named after the Hawaiian goddess of fertility. Its two moons, Namaka and Hi'iaka, are named after Haumea’s mythological daughters.
