Pluto's moon just keeps getting more and more interesting.
The results from New Horizon's New Year's Day Flyby of Kuiper Belt Object Arrokoth are in, and it could just change how we think about planet formation.
The study of the Kuiper Belt body Arrokoth promises to change how we believe the building blocks of planets form. Thus revealing more about how planets such as the Earth are born.
This is a real victory for little projects.
Boldly waking up where nobody has gone before.
How did it get there?
There's a man-made shuttle at the edge of the solar system, taking photos. It's mind bending.
These two dim dots are none other than Pluto, the dwarf plant, and Charon, its largest moon. Though it might not look like much, this is the first ever colored photograph of the two cosmic bodies ever taken. We have NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft to thank for this, which used its Ralph color imager to make the shot from 71 million miles away.
