Destination Pluto: A land ship approaches the confines of the Solar System

Discovered in 1930, we now know that Pluto is the brightest numerous swarm of small bodies that, as a second asteroid belt orbiting the sun beyond the planets. Are so far we know very little about them.

We know they are mostly ice, which are more like comets, asteroids and many short-period comets come from there. You will craters? Will rings? Will rivers of neon, nitrogen geysers? Will one meteorology, polar caps, cryovolcanoes, underground seas?

According to Science Alert, Pluto Is A Planet After All

A group of scientists gathered last week to debate over what a planet actually is. After a popular vote, the congregation decided that Pluto does, indeed, fit the description of a planet — at least for the purposes of our solar system. The debate over Pluto’s fate took place at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics between three experts. 

Get the most accurate picture of Pluto, made with Earth

The planet, dwarf planet or Kuiper Belt objects, so what's the difference? The main thing that astronomers the most detailed picture to date of Pluto ever do with ground-based observations.

And that's how they got it:

They did a series of pictures of Pluto and Charon, using a newly developed camera called Differential Speckle Survey Instrument (DSSI), which is mounted on an 8-meter telescope of the Gemini North, located in Hawaii. 

They find a fifth moon orbiting in Pluto

Hubble  Space  Telescope's  fifth  moon discovered orbiting Pluto, dwarf planet in the solar system, and  increased  the curiosity of scientists  in this more complex than is I thought.

The U.S. Space Agency (NASA) announced today that the fifth known moon of Pluto, named P5, is irregular in shape and dimension between 10 and 25 miles on a circular orbit of about 93 thousand miles around the planet.

Number of satellites: 1 the most important, 2 very small discovered by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2006.

The story of Pluto, its discovery

For Adams and Le Verrier, Neptune was the solution. For generations of astronomers who followed would become a problem.

Our Solar System

Our solar system consists of its major star, the Sun and a set of body is not just about the eight planets now known, that because the August 24, 2006 the International Astronomical Union meet in Prague which was define planet or to be careful as such or the function of the sound "planet" Pluto was leaving because their individuality do not conform to what is intended by the planet, so going to be a planetoid and for that reason, our Solar System now includes nine planets, but eight, this termination is due to the amount of various bodies that have different sizes orbiting like planets around the Sun as asteroids, comets, meteoric bodies, interplanetary dust and gas, which make this set we call the solar system.
