Is the discovery of a new moon orbiting a dwarf pl
anet Makemake, It is nicknamed as MK2. It is less th
an one hundred miles wide.
Moreover, recent changes in our solar system were
also brought by the different missions deployed to s
tudy Jupiter, Pluto, Saturn and Ceres. One of the sur
e discoveries about Pluto is that is surely has an oce
an.
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (N
ASA) is also looking into a new theory that Pluto mi
ght be formed at the edge of our solar system by bil
lions of comets.A cosmochemical model of it was d
eveloped by scientist's due to the consistencies the
y found between the amount of nitrogen inside the
glacier and the amount expected if Pluto was forme
d by comets or other kuiper Belt heavenly objects.
