Ammonia Clouds on Jupiter
In this movie, put together from false-color images taken by the New Horizons Ralph instrument as the spacecraft flew past Jupiter in early 2007, show ammonia clouds appearing as bright blue areas as they form and disperse.

✧ Atmosphere of Pluto ✧
The atmosphere of Pluto is the layer of gases surrounding the dwarf planet Pluto. It consists mainly of nitrogen, with smaller amounts of methane and carbon monoxide, produced by the sublimation of surface ices. Its surface pressure is about 100,000 times lower than that of Earth's atmosphere, and varies with P...

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🪐❄️ #Pluto’s reclassification as a #dwarfplanet in 2006 continues to prompt debate.
Scientists disagree about the #IAU’s definition of a #planet, particularly its requirement that a planet clear its orbital neighborhood. The discussion also considers #Eris, #NewHorizons #findings, and competing approaches to classifying worlds in the #solarsystem.

A fictional Grand Tour portrays Pluto as it really is
NASA's New Horizons mission to Pluto has forced astronomers to rewrite their textbooks — but that's not all: New Horizons also forced Les Johnson to rewrite a novel.The space scientist was tasked with taking notes that the famed science-f

How did Pluto get its heart? Scientists suggest an answer
The most recognizable feature on Pluto is its “heart,” a relatively bright valentine-shaped area known as Tombaugh Regio. How that heart got started is one of the dwarf planet’s deepest mysteries — but now researchers say they’ve come up with the most likely scena

Pluto team updates science from the solar system’s edge
Nearly eight years after its historic Pluto flyby, NASA’s New Horizons probe is getting ready for another round of observations made from the icy edge of the solar system — and this time, its field of view will range from Uranus and Neptune to the cosmic

Attention, everyone! We have some exciting news to share with you today. Recent scientific research has revealed that the Hollow Earth theory is indeed real. Yes, you read that right, and no, this is not a conspiracy theory.
For centuries, scientists and explorers have been fascinated by the concept of a hollow Earth. According to the theory, the Earth is not a solid ball, but instead has a hollow interior with an inner sun, an ocean, and possibly even its own ecosystem. This idea has been dismissed as a myth by mainstream science for many years. However, recent evidence and research have given us reason to believe that it might just be true.
While this discovery may come as a shock to many of you, we can assure you that it has been thoroughly researched and verified by our team of expert scientists. We are now working diligently to explore and map the inner world of our planet and discover what other secrets it may hold.
We understand that this revelation may challenge long-held beliefs and raise many questions. We want to assure you that we are committed to sharing as much information as possible as we continue to explore and learn more about the Hollow Earth. We encourage everyone to keep an open mind and stay tuned for updates as our research progresses.
This discovery has the potential to revolutionize our understanding of the world and how we interact with it. It's an exciting time, and we're thrilled to be at the forefront of this groundbreaking research.

Phil Plait gives us a look at how the other side of Pluto looks like.
"In a recently published paper, the planetary scientists on the New Horizons team described these images and what they may be saying about the semi-frozen rock-and-ice world at the edge of the solar system."
