Did you know it’s been 18 years since Pluto stopped being a planet?
This is a little comic I made for Planetario USACH* explaining why Pluto is no longer a planet—going from the definition of planet, to the history of new planets being discovered, and finally the IAU’s 2006 definition of planet and the creation of “dwarf planets” as a separate category.
(*this is why the comic is in Spanish…I still wanted to document this here, though!)
I’ve been thinking a lot about science and comics lately…for a long time I’ve been doing both things separately, keeping my distance between my two jobs, but I want to move more into the intersection of both things. It feels more like playing to my strengths, right? Anyway, I had a great time working on this and I’m looking forward to making more science comics in the future! ✨
