Pluto P luto is the farthest planet from the Sun (usually) and by far the smallest. Pluto is smaller than seven of the solar system's moons (the Moon Io Europa Ganymede ... Titan and Triton orbit : 5,913,520,000 km (39.5 AU ) from the Sun (average) diameter : 2274 km mass : 1.27e22 kg I n Roman mythology, Pluto (Greek: Hades ) is the god of the underworld. The planet received this name (after many other suggestions ) perhaps because it's so far from the Sun that it is in perpetual darkness and perhaps because "PL" are the initials of Percival Lowell P luto was discovered in 1930 by a fortunate accident. Calculations which later turned out to be in error had predicted a planet beyond Neptune , based on the motions of Uranus and Neptune. Not knowing of the error, Clyde W. Tombaugh at Lowell Observatory in Arizona did a very careful sky survey which turned up Pluto anyway. A fter the discovery of Pluto, it was quickly determined that Pluto was too small to account for the discrepancies in the orbits of the other planets. The search for Planet X continued but nothing was found. Nor is it likely that it ever will be: the discrepancies vanish if the mass of Neptune determined from the

There are three major branches of the Alliance Armed forces: The Navy (Free Planets Space Fleet), the Marines (for example, the Rosen Ritter ), and the Alliance Air Corps.

RSP information Principal directions of research: (1) development of theoretical and experimental models of light scattering in regolith-like media; (2) analysis of optical and radar data on planetary surfaces obtained by earth-based telescopes and spacecrafts. Basic results obtained in the Department: A new approach has been developed to study polarimetric properties of the Moon at large phase angles, which makes it possible to map the average regolith particle size for some regions of the nearside of the Moon. A theoretical model has been advanced for the negative polarization of the light scattered by atmosphereless celestial bodies at small phase angles; the model is based on the coherent enhancement of backscatter. Theoretical and computer models have been suggested for the shadow and interference components of the phase dependence of brightness of regolith-like surfaces; the models has been used for interpretation of the data obtained by Clementine. A theoretical model has been developed for spectral albedo of multicomponent regolith-like surfaces with different types of particle structure and composition; the model has been applied to the various celestial bodies (The Moon, Phobos, and asteroids). On the base of calculations and laboratory data, an alternative explanation has been proposed to 3 micron absorption band in low-resolution reflectance spectra of some asteroids: chemical trapping of solar wind protons and formation of OH groups in the superficial zones oxygen-bearing regolith particles; so the 3 micron absorption can take place without presence of water molecules on the surface.

Frequently Asked Questions About General Astronomy Compiled by Dr. John Simonetti of the Department of Physics at Virginia Tech Back to Frequently Asked Astronomy and Physics Questions Do all objects in the universe exert force on all other objects? F, 8th grade, Blacksburg Middle School, Blacksburg, Virginia, USA. 1996 Do the orbits of any of our nine planets change, or do the planets always follow the same paths? F, 8th grade, Blacksburg Middle School, Blacksburg, Virginia, USA. 1996 Are the planets in our solar system likely to be destroyed when the sun finally burns out, and will they be destroyed by a nuclear explosion or just drift off without the sun's gravitational pull? F, 8th grade, Blacksburg Middle School, Blacksburg, Virginia, USA. 1996 I looked around on the Internet but could not find a chart showing years and number of sunspots. Do you know where I might find this information? PM, 9th grade, Blacksburg High School, Blacksburg, Virginia, USA. 1996 Do all objects in the universe exert force on all other objects? All objects in the universe exert a gravitational force on all others. But, the farther away an object is, the smaller is the force it exerts. (The force is inversely proportional to square of the distance from the object: e.g., twice as far away means only 1/4 the amount of force). Furthermore, the more massive the object, the greater the force it will exert on other objects (e.g., twice the mass means twice the force). So nearby, massive objects, dominate the gravitational force on something.

They tried to shed their youthful exuberance, but they were stripped naked to the sort of atmosphere they must get at Wimbledon matches these days. The difficult third album indeed! But now Supergrass are back after three whole years and have remembered the formula that made them young, free and with teeth?erm?nice and clean. But this time the band is tighter, the production is better, they sound cooler and more pumped than an athlete on steroids. Bring it on!
