Planet Pluto it is one of the least observed in the solar system, and this is because it is so far from Earth, but despite all this, there is still new information about what is hidden there. More precisely, on the planet Pluto, researchers discovered something they never thought they would see, namely changes in the dimensions of methane and nitrogen glaciers, all depending on the temperatures recorded on this cosmic body.
Planet Pluto it was visited 5 years ago by NASA's New Horizons spacecraft, and methane and nitrogen glaciers were discovered there, and by analyzing the images, an amazing discovery was made. The researchers noticed that those glaciers change their size, but they also move, depending on the changes in temperature recorded on the planet Pluto, so that there are substantial changes in their tracks over time.
Planet Pluto: STUNNING Announcement Believed IMPOSSIBLE by Researchers
Planet Pluto it warms up in certain periods of the year, and as this happens, the dimensions of the glaciers change, apparently growing, but they also move at the same time. On the planet Pluto there are temperature variations, which still remain below that of ice, so that between minus 250 and 220 degrees these glaciers change their position and shape, even if the temperatures themselves remain extremely low, and favor ice.
"In Pluto's warmer seasons, still around -220 C, both the methane and nitrogen molecules rotate freely in the solids - the molecules are not bound together very well. Studies of the mechanical properties of these materials at very low temperatures are really difficult, so we lack useful information for the unusual conditions on the outer planetary bodies."
Planet Pluto the "warm seasons" are those when the temperatures reach minus 220 degrees Celsius, and then the methane and nitrogen molecules are no longer frozen, and move in the glaciers. This helped the researchers to come to the conclusion that there are movements regarding the glaciers on the planet Pluto, but of course we are talking about something that is completely different in relation to what is happening at the moment on Earth, or other planets .
Planet Pluto it remains a great mystery for many people, and this is because it has not been observed well enough over time, but NASA is trying to solve this situation.
