United States Space Agency (NASA) released a photograph Pluto taken by the Hubble telescope. This is a picture of the most obvious Pluto ever. Once removed from the list of planets in the solar system in 2006, Pluto is now classified as a dwarf planet - which is very small and far away from Earth.
Pluto is very small, its diameter is less than 1500 miles, and located on the edge of the solar system. The distance is very far from the Sun. Once in orbit, Pluto takes 248 years. Pluto's surface has long been a mystery to astronomers. Thanks to Hubble, which can record the color of Pluto's surface is like caramel, with some lighter colored parts.
Pluto's surface color degradation of weather describes the different and changing seasons, as Earth. Pictures Pluto is the best ever. Better picture will be obtained after a satellite of Pluto New Horizon approaches the closest distance in July 2015.
"The images taken from the Hubble telescope will still be the most detailed approach to the New Horizon Pluto," said NASA spokesman, as quoted page Telegraph, February 4, 2010. Although Pluto is a space object is most interesting, is very difficult to get a clear picture.
According to lead researcher Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado, Marc Buie generated images of Pluto Hubble provides space for astronomers to Pluto Interpretative better than three decades earlier.
"Hubble observations are the key to understanding the difference between the binding astronomer. Also showing new facts, that Pluto is also experiencing changes in weather and seasons. This is a breakthrough in the investigation Pluto.GLOBAL
