Unusual surface feature on dwarf planet Pluto

Featured Replies

I wasn't sure but decided to post this anyway.It's an intriguing topic and a very unusual astronomy website.

 

They claim to have discovered a gigantic mountain on dwarf Planet Pluto.

 

Their discovery was apparently reported to the IAU.

 

The images are consistent but how the hack did they achieve these results is my question ?!

Meade 14" telescope with 60 second exposure. Looks like the remnant of a relatively recent meteor that remained embedded. Very interesting.

That's awesome, what a crazy find though. I'm surprised they didn't find it sooner.

I can't believe we haven't heard about this around here. A mountain 284 MILES high on Pluto is incredible! :blink: Has this been confirmed?

Let's see, first time poster just happens to find "an unusual" website and joins just to tell us about it.

 

Can't fathom how a mysterious "they" were able to achieve "their" results.

 

I smell a rat living in a molehill he thinks is a mountain on Pluto. <_<

"The diameter would be equivalent to the distance between Rio de Janeiro and Brasilia ..." Where?

 

Ok, it's about that far across. Now I just have to scale the length on the map. :P
