dwarf planet

A new dwarf planet has been discovered hanging out in the far reaches of our solar system.

Is there an ocean under Pluto’s surface? A new study suggests that there may indeed be one beneath the dwarf planet’s surface.

See a brief tour of the planet’s hummocky cratered uplands, rocky terrains, and cellular nitrogen ice plains, among other features.

The New Horizons space probe voyage to Pluto has helped to create new interest in learning about our solar system. And it has refocused attention on the issue of Pluto’s demotion from planetary status. I hope to convince you, in this article, that this unfortunate decision should be reversed.

NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft has sent back the clearest images yet of two of Pluto’s moons as it approaches the dwarf planet to collect more data.
