Picture
Pluto, the celestial bodies are now classified as a dwarf planet, has many unique. One of the uniqueness is in its orbit around the Sun as the center of the Solar System.

Can be seen in the picture above, Pluto has a different orbits of the planets in the Solar System. Pluto's orbit "steep", have a difference angle 17 degrees. And, it can be seen that there is the point of intersection between the orbits of Pluto and Neptune.

Rumors had circulated that the presence of the cut-off point, Pluto will someday be a collision with Neptune. The collision may be the greatest collision of celestial bodies in the Solar System. Really?

Study of astronomers denied it. Described in the website Universe Today, Pluto has a 3:2 resonance with Neptune. This means that every three times Neptune evolved around the Sun, Pluto evolved twice.

Based on that, Pluto would not collide with Neptune. Both will always end up in the same position. It took 500 years. Pluto orbits the sun alone for 248 years.

However, due to the orbit of Pluto that is "weird", is a unique phenomenon never happened. Previously, Pluto is closer to the Sun than Neptune. It happened on February 7, 1979 until February 11, 1999. Previously, ever did in the 1700s.

Defined as the dwarf planet Pluto for several reasons, in addition to about the orbit, also about size. Although not a planet anymore, the study of Pluto continues. Finally, it was revealed that Pluto may have 10 months.
