Pluto the Dead Planet
The free screensaver, Pluto the Dead Planet, was created by RateMyScreensaver.com and contains 15 high resolution images of the dwarf planet Pluto. It’s official: Pluto is no longer a planet. It is now only a dwarf planet, one of three in the solar system. The fate of Pluto was determined on Thursday August 24th, 2006 by a vote among members of the International Astronomical Union in Prague.
Pluto is the second-largest known dwarf planet in the solar system and the tenth largest observed body directly orbiting the Sun. It orbits between 29 and 49 AU from the Sun, and was the first Kuiper Belt object to be discovered. Approximately one-fifth the mass of the Earth’s Moon, Pluto is primarily composed of rock and ice. It has an eccentric orbit that is highly inclined with respect to the planets and takes it closer to the Sun than Neptune during a portion of its orbit. - wiki

This Screensaver is nice. I love the title too, the dead planet works both because it’s ice and because it’s no longer a planet
