Also the size of Pluto in 2 times less than expected.
Pluto could not be planet of the Solar system as previously thought, but only a cluster of asteroids. With the help of the New Horizons probe specialists have the probability to obtain photographs of the planet.
Thus, the data from the probe are in the process of treatment. However, it helps to obtain the most current and truthful knowledge about the cosmic object, which had humanity in history.
The findings also indicate that the size of Pluto in 2 times less than expected: 20 km instead of the previously mentioned 40. This fact has forced NASA scientists to doubt that Pluto is indeed a planet.
On asteroid fragments, which may consist of Pluto, hopes, because, having carefully studied them, humanity can expand their knowledge about space.
Pluto can really be a cluster of asteroids, however, to assert this fact will only be possible after a complete and detailed study of all the data New Horizons.
