Many of us are fascinated by outer space and its many mysteries. Our own solar system went through a change in
classification on 2006, when Pluto was demoted from a planet to a dwarf planet. Pluto Demoted Day now takes
place every year to mark that very occasion. While sad for fans of the former ninth planet of the solar system,
Pluto Demoted Day is an important day for our scientific history and is important to remember.
Pluto Demoted Day is a great opportunity for study into space and our solar system in general, as well as the history of Pluto itself. Children will be interested to learn about the composition and nature of planets, and Pluto is a
fascinating subject for science projects. Marking the day itself is a good way to remember Pluto’s former status
as a planet, from its discovery in 1930 to its demotion in 2006.
NASA's New Horizons spacecraft, which has been delighting audiences with the first-ever pictures of Pluto
snapped a new close-up image showing a "vast, craterless plain that appears to be no more than 100 million years
old," NASA said Friday. The frozen region "is possibly still being shaped by geologic processes," according to the
space agency. Long thought to be old and pockmarked, Pluto's surface appears to be covered with icy plains, wide
smooth areas, and lumpy terrain, judging by the the first images released. Pluto even boasts huge summits dubbed
"Norgay Montes" in honor of Tenzing Norgay, one of the first two people to reach the summit of Mount Everest.
"They would stand up respectably against the Rocky Mountains," said John Spencer, a planetary scientist on the
New Horizons mission.
"Who would have supposed that there were ice mountains?" said Hal Weaver, another new Horizons project scientist. "It's just blowing my mind."

NATIONAL DOG DAY

http://www.nationaldogday.com/#!about1/c141h
National Dog Day (Also known as: World Dog Day, International Dog Day & National Dog Appreciation Day)
is celebrated August 26th annually and serves to help
galvanize the public to recognize the number of dogs
that need to be rescued each year, and acknowledges
family dogs and dogs that work selflessly each day to
save lives, keep us safe and bring comfort.
Dogs put their lives on the line every day - for their
law enforcement partner, for their blind companion,
for a child who is disabled, for our freedom and safety
by detecting bombs and drugs and pulling victims of
tragedy from wreckage. This day encourages dog ownership of all breeds, mixed and pure, and embraces the
opportunity for all dogs to live a happy, safe and
“abuse-free life”. Dogs give us companionship, they
keep us safe and they aid those in need. It is a goal,
for many on National Dog Day, to find homes for all
dogs in need of a loving family. The goal of the National Dog Day foundation is to rescue 10,000 dogs each
year .
