Seven Things Bigger than Pluto Part 6
Writing, Running, and Ragging on Pluto
Did you really think that missing a few days would be the end of this? While I don’t blame you, you were wrong. This bit will be seen through to the end, with it’s honorable mention thrown in as well. Because I can and because I want to. Because I can turn things off and on and have them still work.

Today’s thing that is bigger than Pluto is Io.
Io Is our third visit to a moon of Jupiter. Io is a volcanic moon and is a little bigger than our own moon. Like Pluto, Io’s orbit is irregular. Thanks to the bigger brothers Ganymede and Callisto, Io’s orbit gets push out into an oval
Io is a dense moon having the strongest gravity of any moon in our solar system. On top of that it is the most actively volcanic moon as well. Look at that picture, this one just looks like a teenage with major acne. It is ugly, go grab your binoculars and see for yourself.
Poor Pluto, smaller than so many moons. I almost wonder why we didn’t just promote them instead? No, no I don’t.
