      Mmmmm….well there are a lot to choose from! To date over 900 discovered(since 1995, the study of exoplanets has literally gone, BOOOM!).

      It has to be Pluto. Cute. And also I witnessed a World premier of a piano duet specially commissioned for when the New Horizons voyager reached it earlier this year(was working on reception desk, free ticket, yaaaay!)

      Technically Pluto is no longer classified as a planet due to its orbit not lying “in the same plane” as the rest of the solar system. Imagine standing in a FLAT field(ie “plane”), 8 people walking around a central building called The Sun. Pluto is basically like a helicopter orbiting which starts off say 100m above ground, then burrows into the field(ie going underground) and then up again.
