Lauer Nc Budget Deal [XDBUHHiA0MC] Health Updated on August 06, 2026 EDT — Published on August 06, 2026 EDT Tag: #Nc Budget Deal, #leonardo dicaprio, #gerard butler, #jaime presslySpeaker : Dr. Tod R. Lauer - NOAOAbstract: The NASA New Horizons spacecraft provided the first close look at Pluto, its padres vs brewers moons, and environment during its close flyby in 2015. Pluto was shown to be a complex active planet with a variegated surface exhibiting heterogeneous geological processes. Over all, Pluto is a differentiated body with a rocky core, an extensive mantle of water-ice, and a significant atmosphere. On Pluto water-ice serves the structural role that silicate minerals serve on earth, supporting a surprisingly rugged topography of mountains, valleys, and rifts. Nitrogen, in contrast plays the role of water-ice on the earth, forming glaciers, and filling an ocean-sized basin. Internal radiogenic heat drives slow convection in the nitrogen sea and likely supports a global sub-surface piacenza water ocean. Variation in insolation over the Plutonian year interacts with the atmosphere to transport cryogenic ices over large distances. The atmosphere, itself is hazy, due to complex organic compounds formed by solar UV acting on nitrogen and methane. In contrast, Plutos large moon Charon lacks volatiles and signs of present activity, but does show fossil evidence of a now-frozen sub-surface ocean.On New Year's Day 2019 New Horizons flew past an ancient Kuiper belt object, Arrokoth, which appears to have been unmodified since the formation of the solar system, 4.6 billion years ago. Its properties provide an excellent witness to the physics of the formation rickie fowler wife of objects in the outer solar system.The talk will explore these topics and more with extensive use of New Horizons imagery and 3D-topographic maps derived from the images Date: October 27, 2020
