Of possible interest

Pluto and Charon are seen circling a central gravitational point known as the barycenter

Can't be - Barry only thinks that the world revolves around him.

Looking forward to getting a good look at Pluto next July.

In July of 2016 Juno will be inserted into orbit around Jupiter.

Very cool!

I think it was wrong to vote Pluto out of the Solar System.. What if someone voted Earth out?

Gravity tool

I've posted this before but it is cool.

Thanks BenLurkin, extra to APoD. Chose this clip because I figure that someone will bring up a myth otherwise:

Since Charon is 1/12th the mass of Pluto the center of mass between the two actually lies a bit outside Pluto’s radius, making their little gravitational “dance” readily apparent. (The same effect happens with the Earth and Moon too, but since the barycenter lies 1,700 km below Earth’s surface it’s not nearly as obvious.)
