Pluto Turning Red Due To Solar Flares, Southwest Research Institute In Boulder Colorado Determines
Newly released Hubble Space Telescope photos show the distant one-time planet – demoted to “dwarf planet” status in 2006 – is changing color and its ice sheets are shifting. The photos, released by NASA Thursday, paint a Pluto that is significantly redder than it had been for the past several decades. To the layman, it has a yellow-orange hue, but astronomers say it has about 20 percent more red than it used to have. The pictures show icy frozen nitrogen on Pluto’s surface growing and shrinking, brightening in the north and darkening in the south. Astronomers say Pluto’s surface is changing more than the surfaces of other bodies in the solar system. That’s unexpected because a season lasts 120 years in some regions of Pluto. “It’s a little bit of a surprise to see these changes happening so big and so fast,” said astronomer Marc Buie of the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colo. “This is unprecedented.” From 1954 to 2000, Pluto didn’t change in color when it was photographed from Earth. But after that, it did.
