    ^^ As he said.


    a point of interest, the barycenter of Pluto-Charon is actually outside both bodies (they both orbit a point that is outside both of them, as opposed to Charon orbiting Pluto), which is unique in our solar system.

    In very early observations they appeared to be one body, and it was thought Pluto was much bigger than it is because of it.

    Got my interest. There does seem to be some dispute on the web.

    Wiki gives the home of Pooh as the hundred acre wood

    Winnie-the-Pooh - Wikipedia

    But Britannica disagrees saying:

    The main character, Winnie-the-Pooh (sometimes called simply Pooh or Edward Bear), is a good-natured, yellow-furred, honey-loving bear who lives in the Forest surrounding the Hundred Acre Wood (modeled after Ashdown Forest in East Sussex, England).
    Winnie-the-Pooh | Characters & Facts | Britannica

    This site about the books also has Pooh as living in hundred acre wood
