Characteristics of the planet
Pluto was discovered in February 1930 by the young American astronomer Clyde Tombaugh. The average distance from Pluto to the Sun is 40 times greater than the distance between the Sun and the Earth, which means that it receives 1600 times less light and heat than the Earth. The Sun in Pluto's sky appears as a very bright star with no visible disk. And yet it shines there 300 times brighter than the full Moon in our sky. When discovered, Pluto had the brightness of a 15th magnitude star. It can only be observed through powerful telescopes.
Pluto is approximately 1/500 the mass of the Earth and 1/6 the mass of the Moon. In 1978, a dim satellite of Pluto, Charon, was discovered (according to ancient Greek mythology, this was the name of the carrier who ferried the souls of the dead through the rivers of the underworld). If the diameter of Pluto is 2290 km, then Charon is 1186 km. The densities of both bodies are the same, they are less than the density of rocks, but twice the density of ice. Apparently, Pluto consists of both.
Thus, Pluto is the smallest among the major planets (previously this “title” belonged to Mercury). In addition, it has the most massive satellite (in terms of satellite-to-planet mass ratio). In fact, the Moon has a mass equal to 1/81 the mass of the Earth, and Charon has about 1/8 - 1/10 the mass of Pluto.
Pluto has a thin atmosphere made of methane. The pressure of this atmosphere at the surface of the planet is 7 thousand times less than the atmospheric pressure at the surface of the Earth. Pluto's surface is covered with methane ice and is therefore grayish in contrast to the reddish Charon, which is dominated by ordinary rock and water ice.
For several years before and after perihelion, Pluto is closer to the Sun than Neptune. This period can be considered “summer” for Pluto. Still, the temperature at the surface of the planet at this time ranges from -228o to -206o C. When Pluto is at aphelion (in 124 years), the influx of solar heat will decrease threefold and the temperature will drop significantly. The planet's north pole is covered with a cap of frozen gases.
The orbits of Pluto and Neptune lie in different planes, so they do not intersect, as you might think when looking at a diagram of the Solar System, where all orbits are projected onto the ecliptic plane. Moreover, since the orbital periods of Neptune and Pluto are in the ratio 2:3, the movement of these planets occurs in resonance. Moreover, the distance between them is never less than 28 a. e. Even Uranus sometimes comes closer to Pluto than Neptune: it may be at 14 a.m. i.e. from the most distant planet.
But the main mystery of Pluto lies in its insignificant size and mass. It weighs so little that it simply cannot cause detectable disturbances in the motion of such giants as Uranus and Neptune - however, it was thanks to these disturbances that it was found.
PLUTO LINES
The energy based on these lines is perhaps the most powerful of all. The influence of Pluto will transform your life, and your inner world will undergo transformations. Pluto will bring rebirth and renewal through a process of purification that will require you to let go of past illusions, suffering and wounds. These lines carry with them a compelling quality to force you to seek the truth and bring you face to face with your own destiny. Here you will gain enormous potential and strength. Everything that happens is due to your use of this explosive force. In difficult times, you will be able to resist and continue to move forward relentlessly. Your thirst for the unknown can propel you into areas such as detective work, scientific research, or the realm of otherworldly forces. Below these lines there will be many ways to make huge money. There may also be a tendency to increase interest in sex.
PLUTO/MC
This line will bring you great power, but you must be sure you know what to do with it, as it can definitely turn against you! Here, regardless of your tactics, you may decide that “the ends justify the means” is the right slogan for you. By following this path, you can earn notoriety, or, conversely, become a leader. They will talk a lot about you, regardless of what you have achieved. On the positive side, your goals may encourage you to make major reforms in the way the system operates. This line can provide you with the energy you need to gain power and the possibility of change on a global scale. You, however, may have problems with the authorities or the government. Your career can bring you great wealth, which you will either squander or build an empire on its basis.
PLUTO/IC
Everything related to money, property, real estate and family traditions will be in constant change. You will try diligently to identify with your family and your roots, but you will find that it is almost impossible to do so. However, you will be loyal to your family because, feeling this emotional distance, you will strive to constantly improve yourself and seek your new identity, which will be built on the basis of your own “I”.
PLUTO/ASC
The energy that Pluto brings will be experienced internally. You may crave money and personal power, which will leave a lasting impression in the minds of those with whom you come in contact. Your personal charm will have a hypnotic effect on others, and people will either love you or hate you, but they will certainly not remain indifferent to you. Your very presence can cause some people a feeling of awkwardness and a desire to avoid you, while for others it can be attractive and seductive. In general, because people feel your strength, they may avoid you, and you may find yourself lonely. Here you will experience things through your passion, although you will strive to hide the depth and strength of your feelings.
PLUTO/DSC
On this line you will be very attracted to sexual relationships. You may find yourself filled with jealousy or possessiveness, and often involved in confrontations. You can attract and find strong-willed people with whom you would have the opportunity to fight in order to gain your own independence and power over your life. In this struggle you will become a battlefield, and at the same time prey. This place can feel fatal, and the inner transformation that happens to you here will be endless. The stakes are high and can be daunting, but the rewards are great because... You will get to know your inner essence.
Pluto is a serious, “warlike”, ambitious planet. Being the highest orbit of Mars, Pluto, which rules the collective will, transfers the expansive energy of Mars to a higher level and gives its bearer a craving for management activities, authority, and a thirst for a leadership position. These are ambitious, powerful, proud people with a sense of self-esteem who do not like to be contradicted. In disputes and in personal communication, they strive to ensure that those around them accept their authority, so that they always have the last word. They often have a “heavy” “X-ray” look. Often these are secretive people who do not like to advertise their lives at all. One can even talk about a certain suspiciousness, which intensifies even more during the retrograde phase. They strive to interact with loved ones and people around them not superficially, but at the deepest level possible at the moment.
In general, Pluto is characterized by a desire to control all energy and power processes around him in order not to become an object of control and subordination. Plutonic people like to be in areas where energy flows intersect, for example, where there is the possibility of “pumping out” money. These are not only tax authorities, but also crime: banditry, mafia, and at the state level - corruption. Although banditry and mafia are more likely. This is big politics, when a leader takes upon himself the right to govern entire nations, decide whether to start a war or not, etc.
As a rule, Plutonic people are able to exert a strong influence on others, even without being leaders, because have significant internal strength and weight of conviction. Unlike, say, Venus, the Moon, Neptune, Pluto gives us a tougher and outwardly cold type of person. These are intellectual, somewhat harsh and principled people, because Pluto is a cult of strength. However, the force is not obvious and not aggressive. He is a master of manipulation, both obvious and secret, including magical effects on reality. The Plutonic type of people is associated with transformation, deep changes, so they seem to be internally drawn to serious, crisis situations, situations of risk and danger, when they either consciously or simply are forced to internally transform themselves, their beliefs, psyche, put themselves on the brink of life and death, striving to become better, more capable, more seasoned, wiser, more sincere, and also to have a deeper understanding of reality. Stress for them, no matter how strange it may sound, is a normal state, it is important for them for their deep transformations. However, the path of stressful situations is still not the only alternative. Plutonic energies, while working great in themes of destruction and danger, are also great in deep dive themes, particularly science, exploration, mysticism, and creativity. Plutonians are hardworking, responsible people, good workers who study their topic deeply. Potentially, these are excellent scientists and researchers, because they love to get to the bottom of things. Pluto takes things seriously and values things that change consciousness and lead to greater awareness.
Pluto is a perfectionist. He is very critical of both himself and those around him, and is inclined to bring himself to perfection in life in those areas where he develops and which he considers significant for himself. Although his concept of significance may be very different from ordinary ones. For this reason, Pluto is a great, “natural” boss, because... he will bring his employees to perfection. If the Sun is an obvious control, then Pluto is a secret control. This is management through manipulation, excellent understanding of global trends and conscious direction of the collective will. Pluto needs global processes, large associations, high ranks, and it does not matter what kind of activity a person is engaged in. Although this planet has its own preferences in professional terms, working in tandem with other planets, Pluto gives the area of interest great scope and pretension. Plutonians highly value justice, responsibility, intelligence and willpower. Such people do not particularly like to be subordinated and strive to subordinate the situation at work to themselves. The claims of such people for something more are quite justified; they are indeed capable of coping with great responsibility. Pluto loves everything large-scale, big, he is pompous and scrupulous. In conversations, he is interested not so much in gossip as in the fate of the world and global topics. A strong Pluto is characterized by a tendency to criticize, object, and contradict (although Pluto is still not comparable to Virgo Mercury, which is a “professional” skeptic). This tendency increases during the retrograde phase (the same is true for Mercury). The criticality and skepticism of Pluto, characteristic of a scientist, persists even if its bearer delves into magic and mysticism. Even in such areas, he wants to thoroughly test everything not only in theory, but also in practice, in experiment.
The theme of sex, sexuality, deep, higher sex, sexual energy as transformative energy is associated with Pluto. Unlike the Martian type, this is an option not of quantity, but of quality. Although it is worth emphasizing that Plutonians are very hardy in sex. However, they are not particularly interested in setting “records” in bed. Pluto looks for depth in everything, for the power that rules the world. And sex is one of the facets through which they can comprehend their partner and the Universe. And although Pluto is considered the highest orbit of Mars, which is associated with the fire element, it is still the ruler of Scorpio, a representative of the water element. Therefore, despite the external coldness, inside the Plutonic person is very emotional. Sometimes they say that a real small nuclear reactor is raging inside him, which such a person, however, can demonstrate only to those closest to him. No matter how it seems on the outside, inside they are very passionate people. Their emotions are not superficial and are hidden deep. But where there is passion, there is also a downside. Being at the same time an impressionable, passionate nature, but also harsh and unceremonious, this type is jealous and even vindictive. Although it is worth understanding that here a lot depends on the spiritual level of a person, on upbringing, etc. We are only talking about the general patterns of temperament and psychotype.
In everyday life, Plutonic people tend to hold back their energy; they may well have a “creative mess” at home and not wash a mountain of dishes, because Pluto does not like to waste money on small things. But they are indispensable in such matters that not everyone can do: hellish work in the mines, dangerous production, surgery and obstetrics, the work of pathologists, serious business, crime and the fight against it. Yes, it is in such “exotic” professions that they feel “at ease”, as if they feel that if they don’t work “to the max”, they will only get worse. If you put psychological pressure on a plutonic person, he simply turns on “ignore”, literally not noticing the source of the pressure. Plutonians are “cleaners.” They subconsciously strive to transform this reality for the better, discarding everything that is not working, false, illusory. Pluto itself rules death, so Plutonians from childhood are interested in the topics of death, out-of-body experience, global world processes, reincarnation, out-of-body experience, the other world, spirits, and magic.
Examples of people with a strong position of direct Pluto in the soul formula (standing in the center): Ivan Balle(born November 21, 1741) - Russian military leader, admiral, senator; James Boswell(born 10/29/1740) - Scottish writer and memoirist; Sergey Vyazmitinov(born 10/18/1741) - first minister of war of the Russian Empire, minister of police, infantry general; Petr Inokhodtsev(born December 2, 1742) - Russian astronomer; Franciszek Karpiński(born 10/4/1741) - Polish poet, playwright, representative of sentimentalism; Tino Costa(born January 9, 1985) - Argentine football player; John Murray(born October 10, 1741) - English and American religious leader and theologian, founder of the Universalist Church in the USA; Count Georg Sprengtporten(born December 16, 1740) - Swedish military leader and politician who switched to Russian service, Governor-General of Finland in 1808-1809; Petr Khanykov(born December 14, 1743) - admiral of the Russian fleet; Pierre Choderlos de Laclos(born 10/18/1741) - French general and inventor, known mainly as the author of the epistolary novel Dangerous Liaisons.

PLUTO
Male planet. The beginning of Jan. The cycle is 248 years. A small planet and such a powerful cycle. Microcycles - 10 years, 6.5 years. If Neptunians are larger than Pisces, then Plutonians are Scorpios. Since the planet’s cycle is 248 years, the most important events in the life of a Plutonian occur every 248 years. This happens at the soul level.
Scorpios are asked the most (a difficult sign), because they have been given a lot.
Pluto is the ruler of the underworld. In Avestan mythology he is called Imal or Yamal. This is where the word "pit" comes from.
Now you understand why people began to be buried in pits. Because Pluto is the god of death, the pacifier of demons. He was placed in the lower world, or rather, he himself took on the mission of living in the lower world, so that the forces of darkness would not spread on Earth, He is their pacifier. If any epidemic, disaster, catastrophe, which is also an expression of evil, breaks out from the underworld, then Imal pacifies them with his rod, driving them back to the Earth.
Based on the Pluto cycle, one can identify natural disasters, hurricanes, tsunamis, floods, tornadoes, outbreaks of infectious diseases, as well as outbreaks of passion in many peoples and ethnic groups. The Plutonian manifests himself better and feels better where energy is boiling, where explosions, rebellious whirlwinds, popular unrest arise around him, and the Plutonian feels very bad during a calm period. The Higher Plutonian is aware of his task, the task of pacifying the elements, which is why such a person feels best.
When people do many evil things, a lot of evil accumulates in the lower world.
After Imal pacifies the demons with a blow of his rod, Pluto incarnates through his incarnations in the upper world to drive back the demons that have manifested themselves among people. This is the mythological manifestation of Pluto. Consequently, its function is that of a pacifier of darkness, forces beyond the control of man, raging elements that do not recognize any laws.
Taming these forces and bringing them into one system, retention, manifests itself in the life and character of any Plutonian, especially if Pluto is good. Therefore, the Plutonian cannot manifest in a small mass of people. He is the bearer of enormous energy, a great charge of thoughts. In the worst case, such a person will be a destroyer, subjugating entire nations with his magical powers. At best, such a person will pacify the forces of darkness and horror. Such people must be responsible not only for themselves, but also for entire groups of people. True Plutonians are drawn to extreme situations. Risk becomes their profession.
The main task of the highest Plutonian is the fight against khravstro (translated from Avestan means carrion, evil spirits, virus).
The High Plutonian is a magician and healer, he is a leader in extreme situations, he gives off a feeling of enormous unknown power. And the low Plutonian wants to constantly influence those around him, hypnotizes them, thus making them dependent, violating their integrity. This is a manifestation of the evil Pluto, this is evil, terrible evil. Hypnosis cannot be for higher purposes, because if a person has been hypnotized at least once (the consciousness is pitted against the subconscious), then such a person becomes dependent, and any dependence is evil. You can subsequently do whatever you want with such a person.
In order to understand whether it has been completely cured, it needs to stand the test of time. Now people are receiving retribution for all the hypnotic influences, the mass zombification of people. Jesus Christ did not heal more than three people at a time. And these are trying to cure everyone at once.
Any Plutonian is omnipresent. In general, they are desperate people: they are not afraid of anything, they create extreme situations for themselves and come out of them as winners. The forces of darkness emanate from the low Plutonian. This is a vicious leader who hypnotizes people, turning them into beasts. This is an energy vampire. This is a “black” magician (magic translated from Avestan means ablution).
For example, at the stadium in Kyiv 2 years ago they collected sick people. But 5 thousand healthy people passed through. The healthy left sick, the sick left healthy. There was a pumping of energy through the planet Pluto.
All this is true; beautiful clothes, beautiful music, but the essence is devilish. Because they don’t know where to treat, who and when. The most important thing is when, and for them the main thing is money. And treatment, healing is associated with the zodiac sign Virgo, and money is associated with Taurus, and Taurus for Virgo is the ninth sign, the sign of acquisition. And Virgo for Taurus is the fifth sign, the sign of love, therefore, it is impossible to treat for money. You can learn to heal.
These may be energy vampires, but in the absence of people they become helpless and pitiful. A low Plutonian should not be given the opportunity to manifest itself in. crowd. Weak people - Lunarians, Neptunians, Mercurians, Venusians - are drawn to such a person, a resonance effect is triggered. For an evil Plutonian, the best environment is disintegration and instability. In general, the Plutonian is characterized by supernatural vitality. In our society now there are not enough good Plutonians, because a Plutonian is capable of cementing a collective, a society.
During calm periods they are not needed, but in turbulent times Pluto manifests itself. That is why in difficult, dark, unstable times all sorts of healers appear, extrasensory perception appears and astrologers immediately appear. There are charlatans everywhere, and in astrology too. But besides all this, there is at least one, but necessarily pure grain, which must sprout, must give pure knowledge to explain the situation - this is what the action of Pluto is. Pluto comes out, and through its hypostases they are embodied in good Plutonians. How can we determine which Pluto is evil and which is good? We need to see where the Black Moon is. For example, all the so-called healers and magicians came out when... The Black Moon (Lilith) was in the zodiac sign Scorpio, and Scorpio is associated with magic, connected with Pluto. As soon as the White Moon returned and walked along the Black Moon, they immediately disappeared, she revealed them. Where are they all now? Where is Kashpirovsky, Chumak? The White Moon took them off, the White Moon revealed them. Although some of them may appear again, because the Black Moon is now in Pisces, in trine to Scorpio, but the White Moon is in Sagittarius, in the sign of teaching.
Evil Pluto gives supernatural vitality. For example, Rasputin. Evil Pluto gives epilepsy, cancer, metastases.
A good Plutonian will create absolute order out of chaos, out of chaos. The low Plutonian is the opposite.
Evil came into being because of our thoughts. Our thoughts created evil, and evil appeared on Earth. We have created evil with our thoughts and actions. It is no coincidence that the sacred scriptures, the Avesta, say: “A good thought, a good word, a good deed.” Then it turned into Christianity. A vicious thought gives rise to a vicious action. And astrology stands guard over justice, over retribution. So that people know that there is a law of karma, the law of karmic retribution. This is why the evil system is so afraid of us. But we are not afraid, because the light cuts through the darkness.
PLUTO IN LIFE
With a good Pluto, the team helps the person. Such a person has supernatural luck, a lot of strength that allows itself to be manifested. Such a person is able to survive in extreme situations. There may be total success, which will be like an explosion.
And the evil one is the opposite. Terrible blows of fate, an entire team uniting against you, bullying, monstrous situations. A person becomes a victim of black magic, hypnosis, disasters, especially mass ones. It is such a person who will attract earthquakes and be attracted to earthquakes. Only those people whose Pluto is kind and strong survive earthquakes. They survive mass disasters. A person with an eventually evil Pluto may experience breakdowns or a wave of supernatural overstrain. If a war breaks out, such people, as a rule, die.
People with the evil Pluto, born under the sign of Scorpio, united and ended up in Afghanistan. The Afghan events were started on our side by two Scorpios with a strong Pluto - Ustinov and Suslov.
Good Pluto is always a protection in critical situations. But now there are few people with good Pluto, which is why by 2003 2/3 of the Earth's population will die.
PLUTO CYCLES
The 10-year cycle is interesting because Plutonians react to anniversary dates. Kashpirovsky appeared at the age of 50, on the anniversary date. In the life of a Plutonian, some important events occur every 10 years. Operating cycles can have ups and downs, especially the 6.5 year microcycle.
PRINT OF PLUTO ON THE APPEARANCE
A Plutonian can always be recognized by his stocky figure, somewhat awkward and stooped. With an evil Pluto, the appearance is somewhat wild. Unusually thick hair. For women, evil Pluto means hairy legs. Women may have facial hair. They cannot be pulled out, you just need to work through the Pluto channel. If you pull them out, you can attract radiation and cancerous tumors. And when a man shaves, it is, to some extent, wrong.
Changing your hair color is also wrong. But it is, as a rule, Uranus that affects women. It is not the color that needs to be changed, not the shape, but the essence. If you change your essence, this essence will come out on the outside. And we were locked into form. So what if they changed the form? At the same time, the essence does not become better, but on the contrary, different diseases appear. It’s better when they change themselves, but under the influence of living nature, under the influence of herbs. When a person goes to the theater, it is better to listen to his grandmother’s story or read her book. Then these changes happen. Under the influence of the next planet, Proserpina, the alchemy of the body occurs.
The voice is creaky, the gaze is piercing. Unblinking eyes.
Among the Plutonians there are many hunchbacks. The voice seems to come from within. He either repels or attracts. Some kind of bearish clumsiness appears. It looks like the neck is missing.
Stalin had a very strong Pluto, the strongest planet in his horoscope.

Pluto, Proserpine - planets of generations. People know that when the planets of generations enter the Zodiac sign Scorpio, the third savior of the world will come to this territory.
Many people who are conductors of the evil system do not know about it themselves. They consider themselves normal people, but, nevertheless, they are agents of evil. They issue some laws and orders. In fact, a person himself must figure out where is good and where is evil. And here is the Yala system, knowing astrology, its satanic section, knowing the planets of the generation (Pluto and Proserpina), knowing that the people who will be in the heat, and then from the heat will rise like lightning, in the most powerful transformation in the last 3 thousands of years ago, as this transformation once took place in Palestine, knowing all this, created a huge number of false teachings in many countries, primarily in India.
How can one prove that a bright teaching cannot be born in India now?
Evil is a violation of integrity. When, by whom and how was integrity violated in India? It was violated by the British colonialists. And from that moment false teachings began to appear in India. And no matter how bright and beautiful they may logically be, all these teachings are stolen from the Zoroastrian Parsis in India. Firstly, anything stolen is not good. Secondly, the system of evil is thinly disguised there - in a very beautiful form. You read, put on a horoscope, and see that it really is there.
You see that Luciferchik was exposed there. Such a good man - worship him. Therefore, if you want to understand some teaching, first cast a horoscope on it. And in general, if some teaching speaks well about astrology, but does not give it, then this is an evil teaching. Because the bright teaching will first give protection, like charisma, it will give astrology. This is just an excuse that it is not time to give astrology yet. In India, this time was a long time ago. India is the heart of the Earth. There, this astrology existed for a long time in the form of the Vedas, in the form of the Avesta, through the Zoroastrian Parsis. But for some reason they don’t give astrology. They don't give because they are afraid to give. Because as soon as you arm yourself with astrology, you will see that this teaching is base.
If a person is completely convinced of the lordship of some teaching, then he will never ask questions about its truth. Moreover, any teaching must be checked in its dynamics, because in statics it can look good, beautiful, but in dynamics it may not work. Dynamics is astrology, it feeds astrology. If it works in dynamics, then a person can believe in something.
If I am asked a question about some teaching, and the question arises for a reason, but in the information field, this indicates that the person has doubts. But a person never doubts true teaching.
Our entire surrounding world is collected into a single system, and no matter how you rotate this world, it will still change. This is a system that has stood the test of time. And you feel in your stomach, even if I say something wrong, you will present it to me later, because I will give you a weapon.

Pluto– dwarf planet of the solar system: discovery, name, size, mass, orbit, composition, atmosphere, satellites, which planet Pluto is, research, photos.
Pluto- the ninth or former planet of the solar system, which has become a dwarf planet.
In 1930, Clyde Tomb discovered Pluto, which became the 9th planet for a century. But in 2006, it was moved to the family of dwarf planets, because many similar objects were found beyond Neptune. But this does not negate its value, because now it ranks first in size among the dwarf planets in our system.
In 2015, the New Horizons spacecraft reached it, and we received not only close-up photos of Pluto, but also a lot of useful information. Let's look at interesting facts about the planet Pluto for children and adults.
Interesting facts about the planet Pluto
Namereceived in honor of the lord of the underworld
- This is a later variation of the name Hades. It was proposed by an 11-year-old girl, Venice Brunei.
Became a dwarf planet in 2006
- At this point, the IAU puts forward a new definition of “planet” - a celestial object that is on an orbital path around the Sun, has the necessary mass for a spherical shape and has cleared its surroundings of foreign bodies.
- In the 76 years between discovery and shift to dwarf type, Pluto managed to travel only a third of its orbital route.
There are 5 satellites
- The lunar family includes Charon (1978), Hydra and Nyx (2005), Kerberos (2011) and Styx (2012).
Largest dwarf planet
- Previously it was believed that Eris deserves this title. But now we know that its diameter reaches 2326 km, and that of Pluto is 2372 km.
1/3 consists of water
- Pluto's composition is represented by water ice, where there is 3 times more water than in Earth's oceans. The surface is covered with an ice crust. Ridges, light and dark areas, as well as a chain of craters are noticeable.
Smaller in size than some satellites
- The larger moons are Gynimed, Titan, Io, Callisto, Europa, Triton and the earth's satellite. Pluto reaches 66% of the lunar diameter and 18% of its mass.
Endowed with an eccentric and inclined orbit
- Pluto lives at a distance of 4.4-7.3 billion km from our star the Sun, which means it sometimes comes closer than Neptune.
Received one visitor
- In 2006, the New Horizons spacecraft set off for Pluto, arriving at the object on July 14, 2015. With its help, it was possible to obtain the first approximate images. Now the device is moving towards the Kuiper belt.
Pluto's position predicted mathematically
- This happened in 1915 thanks to Percival Lowell, who was based on the orbits of Uranus and Neptune.
An atmosphere arises periodically
- As Pluto approaches the Sun, the surface ice begins to melt and forms a thin layer of atmosphere. It is represented by nitrogen and methane haze with an altitude of 161 km. The sun's rays break down the methane into hydrocarbons, which cover the ice with a dark layer.
Discovery of the planet Pluto
Pluto's presence was predicted even before it was found in the survey. In the 1840s. Urbain Verrieres used Newtonian mechanics to calculate the position of Neptune (then not yet found), based on the displacement of the orbital path of Uranus. In the 19th century, a close study of Neptune showed that its peace was also disturbed (the transit of Pluto).
In 1906, Percival Lowell founded the search for Planet X. Unfortunately, he passed away in 1916 and did not live to see the discovery. And he didn’t even suspect that Pluto was displayed on two of his plates.
In 1929, the search resumed, and the project was entrusted to Clyde Tomb. The 23-year-old spent a year taking pictures of the sky and then analyzing them to find when objects moved.
In 1930, he found a possible candidate. The observatory requested additional photographs and confirmed the presence of the celestial body. On March 13, 1930, a new planet in the solar system was discovered.
Planet name Pluto
After the announcement, the Lowell Observatory began receiving an influx of letters suggesting names. Pluto was the Roman deity in charge of the underworld. This name came from 11-year-old Venice Bernie, who was suggested by her astronomer grandfather. Below are photos of Pluto from the Hubble Space Telescope.
It was officially named on March 24, 1930. Among the competitors were Minevra and Kronus. But Pluto was a perfect fit, since the first letters reflected the initials of Percival Lowell.
We quickly got used to the name. And in 1930, Walt Disney even named Mickey Mouse's dog Pluto after the object. In 1941, the element plutonium was introduced by Glenn Seaborg.
Size, mass and orbit of the planet Pluto
With a mass of 1.305 x 10 22 kg, Pluto ranks second in terms of mass among dwarf planets. The area indicator is 1.765 x 10 7 km, and the volume is 6.97 x 10 9 km 3.

Now you know what kind of planet Pluto is, but let's study its rotation. The dwarf planet moves along a moderately eccentric orbital path, approaching the Sun at 4.4 billion km and moving away at 7.3 billion km. This suggests that it sometimes comes closer to the Sun than Neptune. But they have a stable resonance, so they avoid collision.
It takes 250 years to pass around the star, and completes an axial revolution in 6.39 days. The inclination is 120°, resulting in remarkable seasonal variations. During the solstice, ¼ of the surface is continuously warmed, and the rest is in darkness.
Composition and atmosphere of the planet Pluto
With a density of 1.87 g/cm3, Pluto has a rocky core and an icy mantle. The composition of the surface layer is 98% nitrogen ice with a small amount of methane and carbon monoxide. An interesting formation is the Heart of Pluto (Tombaugh Region). Below is a diagram of the structure of Pluto.
Researchers think the object's interior is divided into layers, with a dense core filled with rocky material and surrounded by a mantle of water ice. In diameter, the core extends over 1,700 km, which covers 70% of the entire dwarf planet. The decay of radioactive elements indicates a possible subsurface ocean with a thickness of 100-180 km.
The thin atmospheric layer is composed of nitrogen, methane and carbon monoxide. But the object is so cold that the atmosphere freezes and falls to the surface. The average temperature reaches -229°C.
Moons of Pluto
The dwarf planet Pluto has 5 moons. The largest and closest is Charon. It was found in 1978 by James Christie, who was looking at old photographs. Behind it are the remaining moons: Styx, Nikta, Kerberos and Hydra.
In 2005, the Hubble telescope found Nix and Hydra, and in 2011, Kerberos. Styx was noticed already during the flight of the New Horizons mission in 2012.
Charon, Styx and Kerberos have the necessary mass to form as spheroids. But Nyx and Hydra seem elongated. The Pluto-Charon system is interesting because their center of mass is located outside the planet. Because of this, some are inclined to believe in a double dwarf system.
In addition, they reside in a tidal block and are always turned on one side. In 2007, water crystals and ammonia hydrates were noticed on Charon. This suggests that Pluto has active cryogeysers and an ocean. The satellites could have formed due to the impact of Plato and a large body at the very beginning of the solar system.

Classification of the planet Pluto
Why isn't Pluto considered a planet? In orbit with Pluto in 1992, similar objects began to be noticed, which led to the idea that the dwarf belonged to the Kuiper belt. This made me wonder about the true nature of the object.
In 2005, scientists discovered a trans-Neptunian object, Eris. It turned out that it was larger than Pluto, but no one knew whether it could be called a planet. However, this became the impetus for the planetary nature of Pluto to be doubted.
In 2006, the IAU began a dispute over the classification of Pluto. The new criteria required being in solar orbit, having enough gravity to form a sphere, and clearing the orbit of other objects.
Pluto failed on the third point. At the meeting it was decided that such planets should be called dwarfs. But not everyone supported this decision. Alan Stern and Mark Bye were actively opposed.
In 2008, another scientific discussion was held, which did not lead to a consensus. But the IAU approved the official classification of Pluto as a dwarf planet. Now you know why Pluto is no longer a planet.
Exploring the planet Pluto
Pluto is difficult to observe because it is tiny and very far away. In the 1980s NASA began planning for the Voyager 1 mission. But they still focused on Saturn’s moon Titan, so they were unable to visit the planet. Voyager 2 also did not consider this trajectory.
But in 1977, the question of reaching Pluto and trans-Neptunian objects was raised. The Pluto-Kuiper Express program was created, which was canceled in 2000 because funding ran out. In 2003, the New Horizons project was launched and departed in 2006. In the same year, the first photos of the object appeared when testing the LORRI instrument.
The device began approaching in 2015 and sent photos of the dwarf planet Pluto at a distance of 203,000,000 km. Pluto and Charon were displayed on them.
The closest approach happened on July 14, when we managed to get the best and most detailed footage. Now the device is moving at a speed of 14.52 km/s. With this mission we received a huge amount of information that has yet to be digested and realized. But it is important that we also better understand the process of system formation and other similar objects. Next, you can carefully study the map of Pluto and photos of its surface features.

Photos of the dwarf planet Pluto
The beloved little one is no longer a planet and has taken its place in the dwarf category. But High resolution photos of Pluto demonstrate a very interesting world. First of all, we are greeted by the “heart” - the plain captured by Voyager. This is a crater world, which was previously considered the coldest, most distant and small 9th planet. Pictures of Pluto will also demonstrate the large satellite Charon, with which they resemble a double planet. But space It doesn’t end there, because further on there are many more ice objects.
