IMAGES OF PLUTO IN HIGH QUALITY !!!
The second space sensation – new photos of Pluto and its satellite Charon in high resolution, which are transmitted to Earth space probe New Horizons, launched in 2006. In the images, e.g., color and all the details visible brown surface 10-th planet of the Solar system with a huge bright spot in the shape of a heart. Meanwhile, even the most clear photographs taken by the Hubble telescope in 2000, Pluto was just as muddy stain with undefined contours.
In July 2015, the station was close to Pluto at a minimum distance of 12.5 thousand km the New Horizons Mission is not only hundreds of photos which are truly breathtaking. During the flight there were plenty of serious data about Jupiter, its moons and other celestial bodies.
The culmination of this project had been planned for this year: in recent months it became clear that Pluto is ice mountain, rocks, ice "lakes" and "dunes" moving and nitrogen ice, the movement of which resemble the migration of glaciers on Earth. Pluto has a smooth cold plains and "layered" atmosphere. This dwarf planet is much older than previously thought.
Data passed to New Horizons, largely changed the point of view of astronomers on the processes taking place on Pluto. This world was not dead – there occur phenomena, gradually changing the planet's surface. For example, moving ice, which can be considered a confirmation of the hypothesis about the existence of a liquid ocean under an ice cover. This makes the Pluton are similar to active worlds like Earth or Mars. Besides, scientists have found proof of the existence of the Pluto complex organic compounds acetylene, ethylene and others.
Now the station has left the boundaries of the orbit of the dwarf planet and sent to one of the objects in the Kuiper belt (the Solar system beyond the orbit of Neptune) – 2014 MU69 planetoid, where you are studying it until the end of energy, that is presumably until the end of 2020.
