Do you know what the atmosphere of Pluto is composed of? Gravity compared to earth? Rotation compared to earth.

Amazing.......so is pluto classified as a planet or not. They don't seem to be able to decide.

Yes! Pluto is a planet with a large atmosphere and has Five moons from which Charon is the biggest and closest moon. This is first ever flight near by Pluto so we will get some updates soon.

Scientific News: Horizons Spacecraft Voyage to Pluto

NASA’s New Horizons Spacecraft Completes Flyby of Pluto










About 7:50 a.m. Tuesday, NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft made its closest pass by Pluto, coming within 7,800 miles of the surface.

The crowd, which included the children of Clyde Tombaugh, the astronomer who discovered Pluto in 1930, cheered.

As soon as it arrived, New Horizons was leaving, speeding along its trajectory at 31,000 miles per hour.

For now, no one knows how the spacecraft is faring.

New Horizons, which sent its last message to Earth at 11:17 p.m. on Monday, is in the middle of 22 hours of automated scientific observations.

New Horizons will not check in again for several more hours, with the signal scheduled to arrive on Earth at 8:53 p.m. By Wednesday, the spacecraft will be mostly finished with the data-collecting phase of the mission and begin sending back the trove of information for scientists to delve into.
Additional data from other instruments to identify some of the chemical makeup of the surface and map the range of temperatures will help the researchers figure out what is going on.

From telescope observations on Earth, astronomers have known for more than 60 years of a bright spot on this side of Pluto, and New Horizons’ trajectory was chosen in part so that it would see the spot in sunlight.

Among the other science findings so far: a precise measurement of Pluto’s diameter; greater than expected amounts of nitrogen leaking from the atmosphere into space; confirmation of nitrogen and methane ices at the polar region; and images that show strange, and different, landscapes on Pluto and Charon, its largest moon.

Hellooo. Hi! You missed my question above...



I don't understand what you're trying to accomplish with the "Notebook" threads. Looks like you're just curating which would be more appropriate for a blog than a discussion forum.

I'am sorry I will describe!

1. (Military Notebook: Military Discussions) is about general Military notes and discussions that describes both old and new military technologies or historical events much like an military Notebook. Reason I called it Military Notebook because the Notebook is military.


2. (Scientific Notebook: Scientific Discussions) is about general Scientific notes and Discussions that describes old and new Scientific stories and technologies.


I'am not trying to accomplish anything, but only sharing my Ideas and toughs in my Notebooks. Thank You!

Later after collapse of USSR, Alexander Kemurdzhian went to the United States, and helped Americans build their Mars Rovers

Hellooo. Hi! You missed my question above...

What exactly are you doing Armynia? Trying to build an encyclopedia or post count?

Scientific Discussions: Armenian Scientist




https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Kemurdzhian


Alexander Leonovich Kemurdzhian (Armenian: Ալեքսանդր Լևոնի Քեմուրջյան, Russian: Алекса́ндр Лео́нович Кемурджиа́н; 4 October 1921, Vladikavkaz - 25 February 2003, St Petersburg) was a pioneering scientist, of Armenian heritage, in the space flight program of the Soviet Union. As chief engineer-designer at the VNIITransMash, he designed the first rovers to explore another world - the Soviet Lunokhod rovers. Founder of the space transport machine-engineering science.




























The Lunokhod (Moon Rover) Enjoy!
