And the award for Worst New Horizons News Coverage goes to...
http://www.pulseheadlines.com/horizons-spa...on-charon/3218/ QUOTE New Horizons Spacecraft discovers Pluto’s largest moon, Charon The largest moon of Pluto, until now, was spotted by NASA’s New Horizons Spacecraft. This represents a major legacy in the scientific world, and it will surely contribute for further investigations of the almost unknown planet. The newly discovered moon was named Charon, and it is the largest moon from the satellites that surround Pluto. It is 751 miles wide and was spotted by New Horizons Spacecraft on July 14. QUOTE Moreover, with the discovery of Charon, many past theories about Pluto must be restudied. Bill MacKinnon, leader of the New Horizons, Geology, Geophysics and Imaging team at Washington University in St. Louis said that at Pluto’s negative 390º Fahrenheit ice flows like glaciers. |
