Google Earth can now explore the dwarf planet Pluto on a map drawn on the basis
of images from the spacecraft, "New Horizons" by NASA. The
interactive map gives a preliminary idea of what it looks like, this distant
planet.
Map style Google Earth
is made up of pictures taken using the tools LORRI and Ralph on board the
spacecraft "New Horizons." The file is available for download on the
sitepluto . The map is updated as new information becomes available.
Latest updates are
taken from the map, a recent NASA. Interactive map provides the tools that may
allow to decipher the mysterious light and dark spots on the surface of Pluto.
Map of Pluto
One of the dark areas
on Pluto is the code name "whale". It is located along the equator,
and it reaches a length of about 3 thousand kilometers. To her right is the
brightest region in the world, which, according to scientific guesses, a young
deposits of frozen gases such as methane, nitrogen and carbon monoxide.
Further to the right
you can see the four mysterious dark spots, the nature of which is yet to be
established. The tail, the left side of the picture, is a ring-shaped
structure, which can be impact crater and volcano. Scientists are waiting for
new pictures that will allow them to give a more accurate estimate.
Close-up images will be
received on 14 July when the spacecraft "New Horizons" Pluto fit
