All bodies that have a mass have gravity - Charon especially.

There are a pair of gravitational forces between every two masses in the universe.

The whole thing is so cool when you think about it: There is a pair of attractive

forces between the lint in your pocket and a grain of sand on the farthest beach on

the other side of the farthest planet in orbit around the farthest star in the farthest

galaxy on the other side of the universe.

What is the goal of New Horizons?

Primary objectives (required) Characterize the global geology and morphology of Pluto and Charon Map chemical compositions of Pluto and Charon surfaces Characterize the neutral (non-ionized) atmosphere of Pluto and its escape rate (Loss of any of these objectives will constitute a failure of the mission.) Secondary objectives (expected) Characterize the time variability of Pluto's surface and atmosphere Image select Pluto and Charon areas in stereo Map the terminators (day/night border) of Pluto and Charon with high resolution Map the chemical compositions of select Pluto and Charon areas with high resolution Characterize Pluto's ionosphere, and its interaction with the solar wind Search for neutral species such as H2, hydrocarbons, HCN and other nitriles in the atmosphere Search for any Charon atmosphere Determine bolometric bond albedos for Pluto and Charon Map surface temperatures of Pluto and Charon (It is expected, but not demanded, that most of these objectives will be met.) Tertiary objectives (desired) Characterize the energetic particle environment at Pluto and Charon Refine bulk parameters (radii, masses) and orbits of Pluto and Charon Search for additional moons, and any rings


What is the tempercher on charon?

The average surface temperature on Charon, which is the largest moon of Pluto, is around -220 degrees Celsius (-364 degrees Fahrenheit). This frigid temperature is due to its distance from the Sun and its lack of a substantial atmosphere to trap heat.

What is the exact size of Pluto moon?

Charon's diameter is about 1207 km, just over half that of Pluto, with a surface area of 4 580 000 km ( B. Sicardy et al. (2006). "Charon's size and an upper limit on its atmosphere from a stellar occultation". Nature 439)

When the probe gets to Pluto what will it be looking for?

From the New Horizons mission guide: Science Priorities Based largely on what the scientific community wanted to learn about Pluto and Charon, NASA prioritized its science goals for Pluto-system exploration in three categories: Required • Characterize the global geology and morphology of Pluto and Charon • Map surface composition of Pluto and Charon • Characterize the neutral atmosphere of Pluto and its escape rate Important • Characterize the time variability of Pluto's surface and atmosphere • Image Pluto and Charon in stereo • Map the terminators (day/night lines) of Pluto and Charon in high resolution • Map the composition of selected areas of Pluto and Charon at high resolution • Characterize Pluto's ionosphere and solar wind interaction • Search for neutral species (including hydrocarbons and nitriles) in Pluto's upper atmosphere • Search for an atmosphere around Charon • Determine bolometric bond albedos for Pluto and Charon • Map the surface temperatures on Pluto and Charon Desired • Characterize the energetic particle environment of Pluto and Charon • Refine bulk parameters (radii, masses, densities) and orbits of Pluto and Charon • Search for magnetic fields of Pluto and Charon • Search for additional satellites and rings NASA defines mission success as meeting the "required" objectives. With its full science payload -- three optical instruments, two plasma instruments, a radio science receiver/radiometer and a dust sensor - New Horizons expects to exceed these requirements, meeting or addressing all of the objectives in each category.


What are Pluto moon name?

Pluto's moons are Charon, Nix, and Hydra. Charon is the biggest moon and Pluto and Charon are so close together they share the same atmosphere! They are called a double planet system because they are so close.
