Pluto’s Discovery Pluto was discovered in 1930 (85 years ago) Clyde W. Tombaugh at Lowell Observatory Name was proposed by 11 year old school girl Clyde Tombaugh standing next to the telescope he used to discover Pluto

Pluto’s Moons Charon Styx Hydra Nix Kerberos -There are five moons... The Moons of Pluto Styx was discovered 3 years ago in 2012 when NASA scientists were searching for hazards to the New Horizons spacecraft flyby next July

Location & Orbit Pluto’s Orbit 250 years to complete revolution 1 day = 153.3 hours or 6.4 Earth days Orbital eccentricity of almost .25 4.44 billion km from sun at perihelion 7.38 billion km at aphelion Pluto’s Orbit Eccentricity of 0 is a perfect circle, of the planets Pluto’s orbit is the most circular

Image of Pluto… looking very cold Physical Features Composition: Nitrogen, Methane, Carbon Monoxide Rocky core surrounded by ice Temperature: -400 to -360 degrees fahrenheit Image of Pluto… looking very cold

Physical Features Cont. Atmosphere: temporary thin layer of gases only a few feet off the surface Weather Patterns: winds up to 450 km/s extremely low surface pressure (10ft=150ft dunk)

Photo of pluto taken by the Hubble Telescope Topography surface is just pure ice (dirty yellow color) ⅕ the size of the Earth (⅔ the size of our moon) rugged northern pole Photo of pluto taken by the Hubble Telescope

Interesting Facts Since its discovery, Pluto has only completed about a third of its orbit. Theres a feature on its surface that > looks like Micky Mouse Pluto only periodically has an atmosphere when it is close to the sun Pluto may be the largest dwarf planet There is a margin of error, Eris may be the largest dwarf planet if Pluto isn’t

Missions and Satellites New Horizons launched in January of 2006 Purpose is to gain knowledge of the origin of the universe by studying Pluto and other objects in the Kuiper belt. It is a flyby mission and the first mission to Pluto New Horizons satellite passing Jupiter
