Pluto in fiction
The Solar System
- ... that a common depiction of Pluto in fiction is as the starting or finishing point for a tour of the Solar System (pictured)? Source: "Lots of authors since 1930 used Pluto as starting or finishing point of a grand tour of all the planets"
- ALT1: ... that fictional life on Pluto has included mist creatures and crystals? Source: "Pluto, which though airless and extremely cold proves to be inhabited by mobile crystalline beings", "They then leave the ship to explore Pluto, which at the moment is about 100° below zero. They are attacked by native mist beings"
- ALT2: ... that fictional origins for Pluto include the remains of a destroyed planet, a different solar system, and entirely artificial? Source: "Bald anerkannt, ist der Planet seit dem Goldenen Zeitalter der Science-Fiction und bis in die Neuzeit ein ehemaliger Neptunmond oder ein Überrest des Planeten, aus dem der Asteroidengürtel entstand", "Originally it revolved around another sun", "In Clifford D Simak's "Construction Shack" (January/February 1973 If) it proves to be an artificial worldlet"

preference for ALT1 as confirmed and interesting. The article was promoted the GA today and nominated today so is qualifies. The QPQ is done and the article uses the correct inline citations. It is neutral and free of plagiarism. The image is free, clear and used in the article. Bruxton (talk) 16:02, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
