Pluto's last passage through its perihelion was on 5 September 1989. [6] As of 2015, it is moving away from the Sun and its overall surface illumination is decreasing. However, the situation is complicated by its big axial tilt (122.5° [44]), which results in long polar days and nights on large parts of its surface.
Pluto needs 248 years for one complete orbit, and has been observed for less than one third of that time. It has an average distance of 39 AU from the Sun, hence in-depth data from Pluto is sparse and difficult to gather. Temperature is inferred indirectly for Pluto; when it passes in front of a star, observers note how fast the light drops off.
Prepare for a time of renewal. Pluto, the planet of intensity, destruction, transformation and rebirth, will enter Aquarius on Nov. 19 and remain there until March 8, 2043.. According to PEOPLE's ...
Pluto (minor-planet designation: 134340 Pluto) is a dwarf planet in the Kuiper belt, a ring of bodies beyond the orbit of Neptune. It is the ninth-largest and tenth-most-massive known object to directly orbit the Sun. It is the largest known trans-Neptunian object by volume, by a small margin, but is less massive than Eris.
Pluto will then moving back to Capricorn from Sept. 1 to Nov. 19, 2024. After that, Pluto will stay in Aquarius until 2044, with some progression into Pisces and retrogrades back into Aquarius ...

There are five climate zones on Pluto which are defined by the sub-solar latitude, [1] each with specific boundaries. However, the latitude ranges of the climate zones expand and shrink in response to the obliquity range of Pluto from a minimum of 103° to a maximum of 127° over the 2.8 million year oscillation period.
Simpler models from the early 2000s simulating how Pluto and Charon came to be in their current orientation supported the idea that some object collided with Pluto to create Charon.
