Pluto Like You Have
Never Seen It Before
NASA’s New Horizon spacecraft recently
collected photos of Pluto that give us insights on
how geologically divers its surface is. Ice mountains,
volcanoes, and streams of icy dust, currently astonish the scientific
community all over the globe. Most recent data suggests that Pluto is much
more divers than we though until now.
Until today, Pluto has been a huge mystery. Only few data provided us with
little information. Fortunately, in July 2015, when the NASA New Horizon
spacecraft passed Pluto, it gave us a closer look on Pluto and its surface. A
few days ago, NASA created a false color photo of the ninth planet of our
solar system and marked different geological
conditions. Will Grundy, a New Horizon scientist,
later used a technique called “principal
component analysis” in order to visualize how
Pluto’s surface is shaped. His astonishing
discovery: Pluto’s surface is far more complex
then we thought. The psychedelic image shown
left, displays the remarkable complexity that even
most researcher cannot explain yet.
In the next couple of months the NASA New Horizon spacecraft will deliver
more data to earth and will give us even deeper insights on how the planet
was shaped billions of years ago. Further discoveries will be presented at
the Division of Planetary Sciences (DPS) meeting in Maryland, USA.
