From the article:

“Watch for New Horizons’ next encounter this New Year’s Day, January 1, 2019. Should we make a prediction? Will the next target, Ultima Thule,”

...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/(486958)_2014_MU69

“(486958) 2014 MU69, previously designated PT1 and 1110113Y, and nicknamed Ultima Thule by the New Horizons team,[3] is a trans-Neptunian object from the Kuiper belt located in the outermost regions of the Solar System.”

Bread and Circuses.

Keeping the sheeple talking about the stupid stuff, while the criminals roam free.

What would planetary scientists know about Pluto? It ain’t a planet.

Planet X (Nibiru, home of the Annunaki) is currently behind the sun on its way towards Earth.

It will pass by Earth soon and will be a sight to behold. It will also reap havoc on tides, winds, and cause other destabilization.

I think the FBI shut down the solar observatory because Nibiru will soon appear and the gov't doesn't want the masses to panic.

Pluto is a bit player compared to Nibiru!

AU (International Astronomical Union) thinks they acted a bit goofy when they downgraded Pluto to “dwarf planet” in 2006.

And SJW leftist-hack deGrasse Tyson led that charge.

Active geology? What does that even mean? Pluto has volcanoes? Liquid oceans? Rainfall? Stupid stuff like that gives science a bad name. Pluto isn’t a planet. It’s an asteroid.

I think this was all a sham for an excuse to rewrite all school textbooks FOR the Fraud.

Remember when his handlers added his name to museum item tags and such, even when he had nothing to do with them?

Wish I could remember the specifics. Pretty sure it was something like, “{The Fraud} supported legislation to make {this} more important”, etc.

Active geology means there are processes actively reworking the surface.

“What would planetary scientists know about Pluto? It ain’t a planet.”

That’s right!

Big Media told us it isn’t a planet, and since that’s not DIRECTLY related to politics, YES, I’ll joyfully swallow what Big Media is excreting.

(I probably need the /S).

well, Pluto has 5 moons that we know of already
(including Charon with which it dances in a neat manner)

so whatever they wanna call Pluto, its probably not a comet, meteor, nor asteriod

Had a chuckle at that, but hey, a little more relevantly, the Parker Solar Probe is currently on mission (with my name encoded in its memory)....

So in 6 months when we’re on the opposite side of the sun, if it’s still not visible will you admit you were wrong?
