Pluto resembles Earth in new spectacular sunset panorama

The physicist said, “The New Horizons probe showed you that there may well be a subsurface ocean on Pluto, which means – if our understanding of life on Earth is even slightly correct – that you could have living things there”. The latest round of photos sent by New Horizons is showing the surface features of Pluto in great details.

Combined with other recently downloaded pictures, this new image also provides evidence for a remarkably Earth-like “hydrological” cycle on Pluto – but involving soft and exotic ices, including nitrogen, rather than water ice.

Pluto’s backlighting and high resolution photographed by the Ralph/Multispectral Visual Imaging Camera 11,000 miles away also reveals new details of hazes throughout the dwarf planet’s nitrogen atmosphere.

As we see on the earth that the sunset, icy mountains and flat ice plains that extends towards the Pluto’s horizon covering with the area of 1,250 Km. No one can predict that the Pluto is Earth-like in this case said by the Stern.

The New Horizons mission is the first one to get a personal look at Pluto and its three moons. The latest images released by NASA reveal icy mountains and plains arrayed beneath a layered atmosphere.

Grundy also stated that not only were the images stunning, the hazes are a clue that Pluto has weather changes, just like Earth does.

The spokesman added: “Bright areas east of the vast icy plain informally named Sputnik Planum appear to have been blanketed by these ices, which may have evaporated from the surface of Sputnik and then been redeposited to the east”.

“We did not expect to find hints of a nitrogen-based glacial cycle on Pluto operating in the frigid conditions of the outer solar system”, added Alan Howard, member of the mission from University of Virginia.

A panorama also depicted glaciers flowing from the icy region back into the plain like how it occurs in Antarctica and Greenland.

Launched in 2006, New Horizons passed by Jupiter in 2007 on its journey to Pluto.
