(36.11) Like the Earth Pluto also has sandstones, but methane ice granular
With new information about Pluto, the scientists said that the lesser the concentration of the air in the air was considered, the less the density is not. Rather, the wind that flows at the maximum speed of 10 meters in seconds is enough to take small particles like sand to move from one place to another. As a result of this decision, NASA scientists analyzed the space and pictures of the spacecraft. From these data and pictures, it is known that Pluto has small amounts of methane ice grains like sand particles. And due to the air flow, they made sandal sand dunes, like sand made sand. The name of the dwarf planet Pluto was added to Earth, Mars, Venus, Saturn Moon Titan and Comet 67P in the list of sandstones. According to an article published in Science magazine, the BBC reported that NASA's New Horizons Space Station has sent pictures of Pluto. It reached near Pluto in July 2015. New Horizons from Earth started in 2006. The speed of New Horizons is 58 thousand 536 kilometers per hour.
Pluto's atmosphere was thought to be much less frequent, due to which the possibility of the possibility of creating anything like sandbill was inadequate due to air flow. Because to create something like sand dunes, air needs to be dense enough so that dry particles can be moved from one place to another. The article published in Science magazine explains exactly how the 'methane ice' grown in some parts of Pluto's Sputnik Plantisia has been deposited like a grain sand. The area created by sandstones is made up of mountains up to 5 kilometers high. According to the scientists, one sandstorm is located between 0.4 to 1 kilometer from each other. And they have been developed that the methane grains should cover their expanse 200-300 millimeters. The wind is influenced by the snowstorm and plays a role in creating sandstones.
The original author of the article is the geographer of Plimuth University. Matt Telfer told the BBC, "We could not see methane ice grains separately. But we have been able to confirm the densities of the sand, their external core characteristics and the density of the atmosphere there. We have got an idea of the distance between sand and winds and wind speed. From these we can imagine how the size of methane ice can be. "Methane ice in pluton ensures the presence of sand dunes, there is a large amount of methane reserve under the ice.
Dr. Tepher commented, "It is a thrilling subject to know that Pluto is not an ice-chip at the end of the solar system. It's still being formed and its environment is not stagnant. "The BBC had previously thought of Pluto's idea that it was permanently silent, birac and 'cool like death' is a place. Sir Patrick Moore, the presenter of the BBC's Sky At Night, spoke about Pluto in such a way. But authored by the author of the article written on science by Pluto, colonel astronomer Alexander Hesses of the United States commented that Pluto's time was about to change the idea. Pluto's only identity is not the only end of the solar system. Rather, it is the entrance to the invention of the Kuiper belt's unknown area.
New Horizons, sending images, are now moving from Pluto to another object of the Kuiper Belt, called the 2014 MU 69.
