How was Pluto discovered?
-
In 1930, Pluto was classified as one of the nine planets and is currently known to the solar system.
The dwarf planet, the largest and second most massive planet, is the first object to be discovered in the Kuiper Belt. In 2006, it was removed from the nine planets and downgraded to a dwarf planet. So now. It is known as the 8 major planets in the solar system, Mercury.
Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter.
Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. So why did Pluto remove one of the nine planets from the astronomical conference?
The first is its orbit, which is not the same as the eight planets.
It revolves around the Sun in a plane, and its distance from the Sun varies from 4,436,820,000 km (2,756,912,133 mi) at perihelion to 7,375,930,000 km (4,583,190,418 mi) at aphelion. At the same time, his average distance from the Sun (semi-major axis.
and 5,906,380,000 km (3,670,054,382 miles). That is, he averaged the astronomical units.
The distance (from astronomical units to astronomical units) orbits the Sun. The eccentricity of Pluto's orbit is that of the Earth, and the eccentricity of the Earth is small, so it is relatively stable, while Pluto is relatively unstable, and his orbit is 17 degrees from the orbit of the eight planets. That is, Pluto sometimes orbits in the orbital planes of the eight planets, and sometimes it is not.
Because Pluto is so far away from Earth that it is sometimes not even observable. Scientists have questioned Pluto as one of the nine planets. Subsequently, the American NASA (National Aerospace.
Bureau) launched a probe hoping to unveil the mystery of Pluto, but sent back the data. Its mass is only about that of the Earth. It is smaller than the Moon, 1 6 of the mass and 1 3 of the volume of the Moon.
How can a planet be 2 3 less in volume and 5 6 less mass than the Earth's moon, the moon?
These two reasons, one is that its orbit is not in the orbital plane of the eight planets, and the other is that its mass and volume are too small, so it was removed from the Astronomical Conference in 2006 and downgraded to a dwarf planet.

Pluto was discovered by accident, with a volume of only 1 5 of the Moon, and was removed from the list of the great planets of the solar system.

How was Pluto discovered?

Seventh, aren't the eight stars called Uranus and Neptune, which are the names of the three main gods in Greek mythology, in order of Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades.
American astronomer Clyde WTomaugh, 1906-1997), in his dry-plate films, discovered the ninth planet with a magnitude of fifteen apparent magnitudes, later named Pluto. In Roman mythology, Pluto was the god who ruled over the underworld.
In the early days of the search for Pluto, astronomers followed the pattern of Neptune's discovery – calculating, taking pictures, and taking pictures. So on the surface, the discovery of Pluto is like another major achievement in astrophysical calculations. However, astronomers later discovered that the irregularities in the orbits of Uranus and Neptune did not actually exist.
-
Pluto is particularly terrifying, Pluto's volume is several times that of the Earth, astronomers speculate that there should be a liquid deep sea inside the heart of Pluto, but with the current science and technology of mankind, it is impossible to explore the secrets of Pluto.
-
It's very scary, and there is a good chance that there will be an ocean in it, so there is a good chance that there will be some other life, which also indicates that there will be some creatures that we don't know about.
-
It's terrifying, and it holds a very deep secret, and there is no science or technology to discover it.

How was Pluto's digging discovered?
The possibility is very small, Pluto is more than 5 billion kilometers away from the earth, if you want to fly there, you have to bring enough water and food, and there are billions of people around the world, if humans still exist after the expansion of the sun, it should be tens of billions, and how many large-scale spaceships will be needed to take so many people at once. And Pluto does not have any resources needed by human beings, even if it "moves", it will never go to Pluto, Pluto's gravitational pull is extremely small, there is almost no atmosphere, its surface temperature is more than minus 200 degrees Celsius, everyone can't live in a spaceship, and its year is equivalent to more than 200 Earth years, in addition, it seems to be about the same size as the moon, our spaceship may be bigger than it, and for Pluto, it also has a "huge" moon, Once streaked across Pluto's sky, it takes up most of the sky. So it's unlikely to move to Pluto.
After Pluto was discovered. Astronomers seem to have found a brother. Gleefully make it the ninth largest planet in the solar system. >>>More

Pluto is only one-third the size of the Moon, and weighs 470 times lighter than Earth, in addition to the discovery of Eris in 2015, the planet is about 27 heavier than Pluto, so in 2016, IAU (the abbreviation of the International Astronomical Union) officially defined the concept of planets, excluding Pluto from the planetary range and classifying it as a dwarf planet (Pluto-like body).
Pluto, discovered in 1930 by the American astronomer Tombaugh, was named a large planet because he misestimated the mass of Pluto and thought that Pluto was larger than the Earth. However, after nearly 30 years of further observation, it was found that its diameter was only 2,300 kilometers, which was smaller than that of the Moon. >>>More
