The Mysteries of Pluto: an Alternative Approach to the Solar System's Most Unique World Kevin Chester

To many, Pluto is the most mysterious world in the solar system, and the only major body we have yet to explore. Yet, what we already know about Pluto is really suprising. Pluto is shaping up as one of nature's most unique creations, a planet (yes thats right planet!) that seems to be composed of the most unique features of each and every other planet in our solar system. Despite the intriguing nature of Pluto's physical attributes however, Pluto's uniqueness points the way to three critical questions about ourselves, and our place in the solar system. The three questions we attempt to answer in The Mysteries of Pluto are, is Pluto a planet, is life possible on Pluto, and what does Pluto tell us about the formation of our solar system and the life in it. The answers are sometimes a bit unconventional, and perhaps even a little bit shocking!
