The cosmos or universe is so enormous and stupendous it’s mind-boggling! Here are some facts about space that are … well, cosmic!

Dwarf Planets

A couple of weeks ago we told you about Pluto and mentioned that even though it used to be a planet it was downgraded to a dwarf planet in 2006. But did you know that Pluto isn’t the only dwarf planet in our solar system? Ceres (which lies in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter), Eris, Haumea and Makemake (which hang out with Pluto in the Kuiper Belt) are also dwarf planets.

Apart from size, the main difference between a planet and a dwarf planet is that a dwarf planet hasn’t cleared its path around the Sun of other similar-size objects. For example, nothing else the same size as Earth travels around the Sun on the same path. However, Pluto shares its path around the Sun with lots of other objects in the Kuiper Belt, including Eris, Haumea and Makemake.
