As a further twist, the Aroostook system has two Plutos, one inside the Houlton tourism center, where it represents the orbs' average distance from the sun (40 miles in the scaled version), and this one presenting its more current placement in its wildly elliptical orbit, a relative 33 miles from Presque Isle for the next 20 or so years.
