What an incredible abomination of an article format.


The entire article HTML in the image title is especially abominable.


The article is split up into lots of pages and there doesn't seem to be a print version. These are the pages with actual content:

1) Pluto was actually detected in 1919, but no one noticed. http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/03/13/te...

2) Pluto's orbit crosses Neptune, but they'll never collide. http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/03/13/te...

3) Pluto is the biggest survivor of Neptune's wrath. http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/03/13/te...

4) [our estimates of] Pluto is shrinking! http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/03/13/te...

5) It's not the biggest object out there in the black http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/03/13/te...

6) It has an atmosphere http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/03/13/te...

7) It's a double planet http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/03/13/te...

8) We have maps of its surface, even though telescopes can barely see any features. http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/03/13/te...

9) Its pole is tilted more than Uranus's (122 vs. 98 degrees) http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/03/13/te...

10) It's called an ice world but it's almost 70% rock on the inside. http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/03/13/te...

And because it is on topic: http://xkcd.com/473/
