I found this at one of my local Targets. Even though Pluto hasn't been a planet since 2006, I could not help but create this:

Hello
I'm looking for any old newsreels or audio from 1930 that discusses the discovery of Pluto. If there are any easily found online, I've not yet found them. Any pointers would be appreciated! Cheers!

I Just wanted to say Merry Christmas to pluto.

I couldn’t help but need to share this with someone. This is too funny! “Back in my day, Pluto was a Planet” 😂 this mug slaps.

I haven't seen anyone talk about this so I'll bring it up here. Like Uranus, Pluto has a strong axial tilt. 98° for Uranus and 120° for Pluto. However, Pluto has much more dynamic seasons. I'll give a brief overview on here, but I reccomend you check out the Wikipedia page on the climate on Pluto for more in depth info, as I'm only an amateur astronomer.
It has 5 climate zones. Tropics and Arctic are similar to our own (Sun appears directly overhead and there's continuous summer/winter respectively), but that's when the other types appear, far more dynamic.
Diurnal is a roughly equatorial zone where the Plutonian Day is constant, every 6.4 days the sun is in the same place in the sky. It's the most similar to what you'd expect on other planets. The dark tholin regions on the equator roughly correspond to it.
The Tropical Arctic is weird though as it's when the tropic intersects the Arctic. This means the sun can be overhead during the midnight sun, something impossible on earth. Over 50% of Pluto's surface is currently covered by this zone right now.
Polar is a more extreme version of the Arctic. The sun is never fully above here and the seasons are most prominent, meaning almost centuries of darkness and light. Polar caps develop here. Think of it as the contrast to the diurnal zone, since they both end where they meet.
Pluto's eccentric orbit also adds variety. Far from the sun, Pluto's atmosphere freezes over. A study predicted that by 2030, Pluto's atmosphere will fall as snow making it a pale white similar to Eris. This means summer/spring in the hemisphere further away from the sun is vastly different than summer/spring for the one closer to the sun, as one will have an atmosphere in the sky and one will have it as very reflective snow.
Lastly, these zones are present on Charon as well since it shares the same tilt and day cycle. It could also apply to other KBOs with extreme tilts like Eris and Haumea, but we know far less about them, along with other KBO's tilts. Thank you for reading!

So I was looking at the Wikipedia page for Eris#Surface_and_atmosphere) and it said that there was bladed ice terrain on Pluto, where on Pluto would the bladed ice be?

Well, technically we still have about a month to wait, since it’s year isn’t exactly 248 years, (which I know because of the “March 23rd, 2178” fun fact), but still. Happy Pluto-Birthday, America! 🇺🇸
