Pluto | Minecraft - Galacticraft

Pluto is about two-thirds the diameter of Earth's Moon and probably has a rocky core surrounded by a mantle of water ice. Interesting ices like methane and nitrogen frost coat the surface. Due to its lower density, Pluto's mass is about one-sixth that of Earth's Moon. Interesting ices like methane and nitrogen frost coat the surface, a range of youthful mountains rising as high as 11,000 feet (3,500 meters) above the surface of the icy body.
According to the space agency, Pluto's surface is cratered, white, tan and brownish-red in colour. The partial heart visible is "white" while the tan and white fall towards the top of the picture to read the brown red-surface.
It is located in the distant Kuiper Belt. Discovered in 1930, Pluto was long considered our solar system's ninth planet. But after the discovery of similar intriguing worlds deeper in the Kuiper Belt, tiny Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet.
It has been known since the 1980s that Pluto also has a tenuous atmosphere, which consists of a thin envelope of mostly nitrogen, with traces of methane and probably carbon monoxide. As Pluto moves away from the Sun, during its 248 year-long orbit, its atmosphere gradually freezes and falls to the ground.
The dwarf planet probably has a rocky core surrounded by a mantle of water ice, with more exotic ices such as methane, carbon monoxide and nitrogen ice coating the surface. The mountains discovered on Pluto during the New Horizons spacecraft's flyby of the dwarf planet in 2015 are covered by a blanket of methane ice, creating bright deposits strikingly like the snow-capped mountain chains found on Earth.

While it is large enough to have become spherical, it is not big enough to exert its orbital dominance and clear the neighborhood surrounding its orbit.
It's about 3.6 billion miles away from the Sun, and it has a thin atmosphere composed mostly of nitrogen, methane, and carbon monoxide. On average, Pluto's temperature is -387ºF (-232ºC), making it too cold to sustain life. Pluto is orbit by five known moons, the largest of which is Charon.
All the major planets of the Solar System other than Mercury possess a considerable atmosphere, and some share such feature as ice caps, seasons, volcanism, hurricanes, tectonics, and even hydrology.
Pluto has a thin, tenuous atmosphere that expands when it comes closer to the Sun and collapses as it moves farther away similiar to a comet. The main constituent is molecular nitrogen, though molecules of methane and carbon monoxide have also been detected.
Encircled in purple stratospheric haze, Titan appears as a softly glowing sphere in this colorized image taken one day after Cassini's first flyby of the moon on July 2, 2004.
Hydra is the outer of the two moons discovered orbiting Pluto in 2005. Nix and Hydra are roughly 5,000 times fainter than Pluto and are about two to three times farther from Pluto than its large moon, Charon, which was discovered in 1978. Nix and Hydra are roughly 20 to 70 miles (32 to 113 km) wide.
Charon is about half the size of Pluto itself, making it the largest satellite relative to the planet it orbits in our solar system. Pluto and Charon are often referred to as a "double planet." It flew by the dwarf planet and its moons in 2015.
Charon is 754 miles (1,214 kilometers) across, and Pluto is about 1,400 miles wide. Since Charon is so big compared to Pluto - the two are sometimes referred to as a double dwarf planet system. The distance between them is 12,200 miles (19,640 km).
