Hubble and New Horizons views of Pluto

Videonummer 11944805
Pluto. Views of the dwarf planet Pluto from the Hubble Space Telescope, and more detailed observations from the New Horizons space probe in 2015. Pluto and its moon Charon lie in the Kuiper Belt, some 40 times further from the Sun than Earth. Pluto has a surface with regions of dark, light and orange land, which change with the seasons. It is thought these regions are made up of nitrogen and methane ices, overlying a rocky core. New Horizons was launched in January 2006, and arrived at Pluto on 14th July 2015. It was the fastest object ever launched from Earth. It flew past Pluto, mapping the surface, and continued into the Kuiper Belt to study any bodies found on its path. Prior to New Horizons' observations, most of our knowledge of Pluto came from HST data.
