Finally Pluto

By on 8:42 PM
Achieve today July 14 probe "New Horizons" historic first approached the dwarf planet "Pluto", after a trip into space lasted 9.5 years, paving the way for a new era in space exploration

We are now shortly after the historic flight of the probe around the dwarf planet Pluto, where he began approaching him at speeds up to 30,800 miles / hour, and will provide a direct NASA to broadcast this historic event can be expected in the coming hours:

- Sat. July 14 at 11:49 GMT, the probe will approach the planet Pluto, the index reached the closest distance from it, ie after 12,500 kilometers, and will spend the day in the probe data collection, will also be in touch with NASA.

And published NASA imagery closer to Pluto and what it's like on the surface of heart:

- Wednesday July 15 at 2:00 GMT, the probe will be connected to land, sending a signal he was in the nearest site of dwarf planet.

- Wednesday July 15th 20:00, the probe will send the first picture of a planet Pluto, which will be issued by NASA for all the world.

It is worth mentioning that on board the probe "New Horizons" (New Horizons) There are 8 things interesting:

1. ashes of the remains of the discoverer of the planet Pluto, Clyde Tombaugh the world, who died in 1997.

2. the names of 430 thousand people, who have registered in the project "Send Your Name to Pluto."

3. pictures of all the scientists and researchers involved in the probe New Horizons mission.

4. part of the land site, which was launched from the probe in Florida.

5. part of the land site, which built the probe in the state of Maryland.

6. part of the vehicle SpaceShip One, the first manned spacecraft privately funded.

7. Elman United States of America.

8. postage stamp in the Declaration of 1991, he wrote "Pluto: not yet explored."

New readings indicated the probe of "New Huarazons" to be larger than Pluto was thought by scientists, where mission scientists say that the diameter of 1473 miles, to any greater extent than many previous estimates that its ability to only 1,400 miles.

This means that Pluto is the largest of all the other celestial bodies in the solar system outside the orbit of Neptune, which also means that it may be time to upgrade to Pluto carries definition planet another ball, instead of "dwarf planet".

And no longer important task of the probe "New Horizons", which was launched by NASA in 2006, to the discovery of the dwarf planet Pluto, but also explore the "third zone", known as the Kuiper belt mysterious, which contains an impressive range of interplanetary debris, left behind by the formation of the solar system 4.6 billion years ago, and some scientists also called on the region the name "Space Wild West."
