Nasa Pluto

In its recent post, US space agency NASA shared a picture of planetary besties Charon and Pluto, the two dwarf planet systems.

NASA's New Horizons spacecraft has captured images of Pluto, revealing a 44-kilometer-wide crater that displays indications of recent volcanic activity.

NASA shared a stunning image on Instagram taken by its New Horizons spacecraft showing a heart-shaped glacier on Pluto's surface.

Pluto was once considered the ninth planet in the solar system, however, it was demoted in 2006 and reclassified as a dwarf planet.

NASA's New Horizons mission data along with novel laboratory experiments and exospheric modelling has helped scientists to reveal the likely composition of the red cap on Pluto's moon Charon and how it may have formed. The team realistically replicated Charon surface conditions to measure the composition and colour of hydrocarbons produced on Charo...

A recent post by the agency on its Instagram handle shows a rainbow coloured image of a celestial body that has surprised the internet.

Combining data obtained from several sources, scientists have managed to unravel the mystery behind the red cap on Pluto's moon Charon and its composition. NASA's interplanetary space probe New Horizons had captured the reddish region on the top of Charon and collected data in 2015.

While Hoth looks similar to Pluto, Mustafar shares resemblance with Venus. Geonosis, with rugged dry landscape in red hues, appears to be a look-alike of Mars. Endor's appearance seems to have taken inspiration from one of the Jupiter's largest moons, Ganymede.

A batch of dome-shaped ice volcanoes that look unlike anything else known in our solar system and may still be active have been identified on Pluto using data from NASA's New Horizons spacecraft, showing that this remote frigid world is more dynamic than previously known.

Pluto, a frigid little world inhabiting the solar system's outer reaches, may have been born as a warmer place sheltering a subsurface ocean that still exists today, researchers said on Monday.

Pluto's heart-shaped structure, named Tombaugh Regio, quickly became famous after NASA's New Horizons mission captured footage of the dwarf planet in 2015 and revealed it is not the barren world scientists thought it was.

Pluto lost its status as the ninth planet of our solar system more than 13 years ago, but there are still people who consider it to be one. Notable among these names is NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine.

NASA's New Horizons spacecraft will zip past the scrawny, icy object nicknamed Ultima Thule (TOO-lee) soon after the stroke of midnight.

Just days ahead of its New Year's 2019 close encounter, NASA's New Horizons spacecraft has detected an anomaly related to its next flyby target -- an icy world a billion kilometres past Pluto and more than 6.5 billion km from Earth.
