  9. My reflection • I picked Pluto because it didn’t seem normal to me so I wanted to do something that wasn’t normal and not a planet. • The most surprising thing I learned from researching Pluto was that Pluto was known for our 9th planet for 70 years. • If I had another space project in the future I would probably not do pluto because I learned a ton of information this time but when im older I would want to research more of our solar system!
