Everyone complaining about furry porn. Meanwhile my feed is full of amazing space pics.
I feel like I must be in some alternate universe or something because I have yet to see a single furry porn and I have NSFW enabled on my feed.
It's so amazing that we have this picture at all. If we had done anything other than a high speed flyby, it would have taken literally decades (46.5 years) to insert something into Pluto's orbit using traditional Hohman transfers. Yeeting a camera at it in only a few years is insane.
For real! Pluto was always this little blob growing up, then it had a fuzzy heart, and then to be able to see it with as much resolution as we did is amazing. It's a curious and beautiful little dwarf
Let's crack it open like a kinder egg so we can get to the Mass Relay inside
Turians know how to get down. Time to party like it's 2157!
Is it so bumpy because it's right on the "make everything a sphere" point? Cause that looks neat as hell.
Correct, Charon has a very low density compared to its size which is one of the reasons it's such a large body, yet not totally spherical.
How come there's only 2 sides to the Pluto is a planet or dwarf planet argument? I think Pluto-Charon should be classified as a Binary Planet system
The lack of clearing its local zone is the main reason Pluto isn't a planet. Even adding Charon into that equation doesn't change that the local zone isn't clear (it's squarely in the Kuiper Belt).
Team Pluto!
Nobody walks into Mordor Macula.
