US space probes are in the process of exploring and photographing two "dwarf planets" - Pluto and Ceres:

and

Paradoxically, Pluto and Ceres represent the third and fourth Horsemen of the Apocalypse (death and famine).
Funny we should be looking at both of them now.
One can only imagine the wrath of Pluto, knowing that humanity has downgraded his namesake from ninth planet to "dwarf planet".
Update: Adding to the intrigue, our space probe will rendezvous with Pluto on Tuesday, the day before JADE HELM 15 begins:
