Does anyone know why it looks like Pluto has an atmosphere in this picture?

That's a friggin planet....

Always "Pluto, Pluto, Pluto". Why does no one ever remember Ceres, Eris, Haumea, and Makemake? They're each as much of a planet as Pluto is. Dwarf planets, but planets nonetheless.

It's smaller than the moon, and six other moons
