It's the only one that include Ceres and Eris as well as the other traditional 9 planets. Depending on which side of the debate you fall, you can refer to these thoroughly modern additions to an orrery as "newly minted dwarf planets" or as "piffling rocks"!! Either way, I think it looks rather nice. check it out at www.build-solar-system.com every cloud has a silver lining- I’ve just come across this new magazine series where you can build a totally up-to-date model of the solar system.

"Occultations are the only way we can monitor the atmosphere of Pluto from the Earth," according to William Hubbard of the Uni of Arizona, who's involved in some of the observations, so it's a great chance to find out more about dwarf planet 134340.
