The Pluto MystiqueThe Statesman [New Delhi] 07 Mar 2006: 1.

Abstract (summary)

Pluto is named after the Greek god of the underworld, probably because it is too far away from the Sun, and therefore in perpetual darkness. It is the onlyplanet not yet visited by a spacecraft (New Horizons has covered just 1 per cent of its journey to Pluto ). Even the Hubble space telescope can read onlythe largest features on its surface. The planets diameter is approximately 2400 Km. Pluto is smaller than seven of the solar systems moon the Earthsnatural satellite: the Moon, Saturns largest moon Titan, Neptunes moon Triton (Triton is the largest of Neptunes satellites which has been visited by Voyager2 on August 25, 1989), and four of Jupiters moons Europa, Io, Ganymede and Callisto. Though Pluto was discovered in 1930, its satellite Charon was notdetected until 1978 by the American astronomer Jim Christy. That is because Charon is so close to Pluto that the worlds are typically blurred together whenviewed through ground-based telescope. No other satellite in our solar system is so close in size to its planet. Charons diameter, approximately equal to1186 Km, is almost equal to half of Plutos diameter. Plutos period of rotation is 6.38 days of Earth, the same as its satellite Charon. However, in late 2005, ateam using the Hubble space telescope discovered two additional tiny moons orbiting Pluto . Provisionally designated S/2005 P1 and S/2005 P2, they will beassigned real names very soon as Hubble has confirmed these two moons (and may be some rings for Pluto ). They are estimated to be between 60 Km and200 Km in diameter. Pluto is about two-thirds the diameter of the Earths moon (approximately 3,475 Km) and unlike most of the solar systems outerplanets which are made of gas and liquids, Pluto has a rocky core surrounded by a mantle of water ice, with only a very faint atmosphere. Pluto has abright layer of frozen methane, nitrogen and carbon monoxide on its surface. In fact its icy surface is 98 per cent nitrogen, methane with traces of carbonmonoxide. Due to its lower density (Plutos average density lies between 1.8 and 2.1 gram per cubic centimeter), its mass (equal to 1.27e 22 Kg=4.55109Kg) is about one-sixth that of the Moon. Plutos low gravity (about 6 per cent of that of the Earths) causes the atmosphere to be much more extended inaltitude than that of our planet. Due to its peculiar composition, Pluto is quite different from its neighbouring planets. Average surface temperature of Plutois about -220C.

Abstract (summary)

According to AKC standards the Shiba Inu , which originated from Japan, is muscular with a sesame, red, or black and tan coat and possesses a sense ofremarkable independence and intelligence. Shibas make good pets for children if they are firmly trained, the owners are aware of the breed's possiblehealth problems such as dislocated knee caps, and can afford the average price of $700 to $1500 for a quality puppy.
