MystiFACT-or-FICTION response #2 – Amazing Anniversary Flyover Videos of Pluto & Charon
Back when I was a kid, NASA used to tell me Pluto is a real planet. Well.. Not anymore. Now it's a dwarf planet or something :/
Well, at least they still send missions there so we can learn more about it. Here are two beautiful videos released about a month ago, to celebrate the 2-year anniversary of New Horizons. I just discovered them and I think they are worth a share:
And here's theone from Charon, the largest of the five known natural satellites of the not-anymore-planet Pluto
These two videos were created "using actual New Horizons data and digital elevation models of Pluto and its largest moon Charon". I have no idea how this works but it does sound cool.
Never forget. Pluto is a real planet. Upvote and resteem to show your support :P
Thank you for your response to my challenge! Best of luck with the results :)
Pluto's a planet bro!
The problem is: there's a big belt of frozen space rocks where Pluto is at, Pluto is the biggest, it was considered a planet until 2006, when Neil deGrasse thought about it and decided that it was literally just a big frozen ball of gas. Which it is. Another problem is its atmospere. Pluto doesn't have an atmosphere most of the time, but when it's closest to the Sun in its orbit, frozen methane melts and so do some other frozen gases, giving it a temporary atmosphere until it moves further out.
Here's Neil's argument:
He is a good rap singer too!
Newton had a strong start, but Neil countered in the end.
