Description ...Why am I not a planet?



Inspired partly by a painting of the planets I saw recently that did not include Pluto as a planet.
I got a little overwhelmed with paperwork again today and needed to do some art. I don't normally do the opaque-with-no-lines style of painting so I guess it was good practise for that too.

I stink at painting... sorry... :/

Might move to scraps later.

....but... but... Mars rotates in the wrong direction too...

I know some people are happy he's gone, but still. His little gravitational pull was still enough to cause a wobble in Neptune so people knew he was there... Plus he has his own moon.

I'm not super militant "Pluto is a planet"... but I do continue to think of him as a planet.

Because you rotate in the wrong direction, you’re at a screwy angle, your orbit’s too eccentric, you’re too friendly with Neptune, you’ve got a dinky gravitational pull and you’re an offender of the Titus Bode Law. /science

Geez, this adorable. It was a little strange seeing Pluto go, even though one of my profs was super happy about it. (Which explains the science up there. I learnt it from him. )

So Mars is next, eh? No one liked that god anyway. j/k

I kinda wish they kept the old definition of β€˜planet.’ It would have been cool to have other planets added in, but I guess kicking Pluto out just kept everything simpler, darn it.

I wish they'd kept the old definition too...

Taking the easy way out doesn't seem very scientific. >.>

hahaha I was JUST looking at Demoted Pluto artwork last night XD
It's always going to be a planet to me! Poor thing. I think your painting did it justice though.
