WHEREAS - New Mexico Declares Pluto A "Planet"

HUBBLE PORTRAIT OF THE "DOUBLE PLANET"
PLUTO & CHARON - This is the clearest view yet of the distant
planet Pluto and its moon, Charon, as revealed by NASA's Hubble Space
Telescope (HST). The image was taken by the European Space Agency's
Faint Object Camera on February 21, 1994 when the planet was 2.6
billion miles (4.4 billion kilometers) from Earth; or nearly 30 times
the separation between Earth and the sun.

Hubble's corrected
optics show the two objects as clearly separate and sharp disks. This
now allows astronomers to measure directly (to within about 1 percent)
Pluto's diameter of 1440 miles (2320 kilometers) and Charon's diameter
of 790 miles (1270 kilometers). Caption & Image Credit: Dr. R.
