The Cosmos
Pluto is 30-50 AU from the Sun, depending on where it is in its orbit. 1 AU = the distance between Earth and the Sun. At the speed of light, it could take you up to 7 hours to get to Pluto. At it's farthest from Earth, it's over 7 billion kilometers (4+ billion miles) away. It took nine years for this image data to be transmitted back to Earth. I find this mind boggling.

Pluto receives 1/900 to 1/2500 the sunlight that Earth does, so it is a dim world. It still receives light however, and NASA's camera no doubt was very sensitive and also used long exposures.

 
I just started rewatching the original Cosmos, Carl Sagan. It’s still holds up. And I’d love to see a Carl Sagon mind today.

Moons are interesting, we have a big variety of moons Koon just in our solar system. They are more interesting than their parent planet.

Never fear!

We have know-it-all Neil deGrasse Tyson now.

Not sure if I agree, but the moons each do have a relatively bigger surface area, being smaller.
 
Europe offer more science perspective than pluto's moons. The planet is nice unlike the original moon shot by us which was just wasted money on lens, India had a more ok shot, the single actually one too. NASA has money nowadays thanks to musk but so far they don't invest thoughtfully and simply mix present & past in their daily tools. Article was well know too, old and recycled but it works.

What we should do, is to investigate Titan/Triton.

They quite need another set of probes there.

They should slightly rename Pluto's companion into "Karen". Fits better with the times.
 
the cyclops website is still
hosted with great images of the sixth planet in our solar system from the
cassini and voyager missions where NASA was able
to detail 10 smaller planets or orbiting surrounding saturn in and amongst the ring structures. Bergland's Ringmakers of Saturn is the definitive image regarding the energy abundance (?) phenomena of sheer magnitudes beyond our current understanding, surrounding the outlying rings, the rings structures known as Cassini A and B, hold a mystery that future generations we hope will further this discovery, the writings contain what may have been a huge influence for the movie Interstellar. looking forward to artemis II mission in 2026.
 
I don't think Interstellar was a foe on a toe here nor the director, was aspiring at anything but just cosmic exploration, hence the title. It was ok for what it wanted to be, mediocre at best because of certain overdramatized dialogues and scene tones. Also the colour palette of the film wasn't that smart and felt a bit like a 2011 LCD monitor, despite having the resources that it had. What else... none.

I rate it at 5.8/10. I did buy it for my blu ray player to have a reminder to Space Odyssey, and how the director wasn't adapting this idea of "100% science" because is not — instead — it was a memento to Stanley Kubrick/some space russian film that I cant remember nor the title or who fuckin wrote it.

What made this film infamous was Matthew performance and indeed, it kept it at a certain level between yawn and blah.
 
District 9 is really good.

I want to go to Pluto.

I don't know too much about Pluto.

Did Pluto get run off by Karen.

A researched finding and book about by an astrologer named Rosie Finn.

Persephone's Revolution:
Pluto's Path to the End of Empire

It is a soft cover, 370 page book, that explores Pluto's orbit in relationship to our equatorial plane. Going through 4,000 years of history, sixteen 248-year cycles, this book reveals an important pattern. Not only showing that history repeats, but also a pattern of evolution, with a surprising twist of hope for the upcoming ten years of revolution and beyond.


The Twillight of Pluto by John Michael Greer

John Michael Greer's book The Twilight of Pluto. He explains why Pluto does not contribute to the harmony of this world or the universe, but actually threw everything off balance.


The key will be facing the shadow — not denying it. With Pluto out of bounds, the unconscious becomes conscious. What we choose to do with that will define the era.
:unsure:
 
This is weird and extreme.

So Prepare also for Uranus.



Pluto IS the 9th planet.
1930 and still today.
So what if it’s a dwarf…International Astronomical
Union is wrong.
We grew up knowing little Pluto was amazing.
76 years of Pluto being #9. Still is #9.
ESBM ;)
 
The kaiper belt and orf cloud exist at the edge of our solar system, a cloud of debris, and remnants of the creation of our little galaxy, even there exists a possiblilty where the suns gravity can still hold more mysteries of a collision course with andromeda.
