Pluto is usually the outermost planet in the solar system, and is the only planet that has not been visited by a spacecraft from Earth. This mysterious planet is really a double planet system, since its moon, Charon, is very close to Pluto and about the same size. Pluto's unique orbit causes it to periodically come within the orbit of Neptune. Pluto is probably also made of ice, similar to the other icy moons, however not ice made of water, but ice made of frozen nitrogen. The evolution, or history, of the double planet Pluto and Charon may be like only one other planet in the solar system, that of the Earth and its moon.
