    Social Media Watch: The Internet Spots Pluto

    0
    By Admin on 15 July 2015 Culture

    History was made on July 14, 2015 when the New Horizons Spacecraft orbited Pluto for the very first time. The historic flyby now means that we’ve completed a survey of our solar system for the first time. We’ve now able to put to rest many of the lingering questions we’ve had about its existence since its discovery in 1930. We now know what Pluto looks like, how big it is, and potentially put to bed the hotly debated topic on whether or not Pluto is a planet.

    So what does Pluto actually look like? Now we know.

    Those on Twitter have taken to interpret the new photos in their own way. From spotting love hearts to finding Pluto in Pluto, there’s many different ways of looking at the dwarf planet.

    Just how big is Pluto? According to NASA Mission Scientists Pluto is 1,473 miles (2,370 kilometers) in diameter, larger than prior estimates. “The size of Pluto has been debated since its discovery in 1930. We are excited to finally lay this question to rest,” said mission scientist Bill McKinnon.

    Because Pluto has way less gravity, it has a way bigger atmosphere (it doesn’t hold the molecules as tight). pic.twitter.com/zLlZWjRHus

    The last time Pluto was in its current position was in 1768 and humans were totally unaware of its existence. New Horizons approach to the dwarf planet’s surface was a nine year trip in the making. So a big thank you to time for making this possible.

    Time makes anything possible.

    Because now it’s official, Pluto is part of the family. Even though Pluto was determined to be a dwarf planet because of its size and location, it’s been added to the family portrait.
