Pluto Uses Methane To 'Paint' Its Largest Moon Charon Red
Who would have thought that Pluto is a graffiti artist, spray-painting its companion with a reddish stain that covers an area the size of New Mexico?
NASA's New Horizons spacecraft captured this high-resolution, enhanced color view of Pluto’s largest moon, Charon, just before closest approach on July 14, 2015.
Charon is 754 miles (1,214 kilometers) across; this image resolves details as small as 1.8 miles (2.9 kilometers).
As the mission scientists detail in the international scientific journal Nature, Charon’s polar coloring comes from Pluto itself – as methane gas that escapes from Pluto’s atmosphere and becomes “trapped” by the moon’s gravity and freezes to the cold, icy surface at Charon’s pole. This is followed by chemical processing by ultraviolet light from the sun that transforms the methane into heavier hydrocarbons and eventually into reddish organic materials called tholins.
The team combined analyses from detailed Charon images obtained by New Horizons with computer models of how ice evolves on Charon’s poles. Mission scientists had previously speculated that methane from Pluto’s atmosphere was trapped in Charon’s north pole and slowly converted into the reddish material, but had no models to support that theory.

► Paper "The formation of Charon’s red poles from seasonally cold-trapped volatiles", published in the journal Nature>> http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nature19340.html
► Image explanation: The image below combines blue, red and infrared images taken by the spacecraft's Ralph/Multispectral Visual Imaging Camera (MVIC); the colors are processed to best highlight the variation of surface properties across Charon.
Scientists have learned that reddish material in the north (top) polar region – informally named Mordor Macula – is chemically processed methane that escaped from Pluto’s atmosphere onto Charon.

#TuesdayThoughts 6/5/18 - Lots of #astrological activity today!! 😬 It starts in the morning, when the #Moon transitions into dreamy #Pisces (exact @ 6:53am EST). Activities that are favored during #PiscesMoon: creativity, #intuition, spiritual aspirations, higher-consciousness, connection w/ feelings, counseling, music/art, nature & especially being near water, & charitable work. Things to avoid are: getting so caught up in others feeling that you put your aside, excessive escapism, & acting like a martyr. These themes that will be active for 2.5 days...🐠
The #Sun & #Mercury will form a tight conjunction in #Gemini (10:02pm EST). This is beneficial for #communication, writing, short distance travel & feeling supported by others. ✈️ A busy time of social activities & invitations to parties/events. Take advantage of harnessing this time of mental clarity & use it to your advantage! This will be helpful in improving relationships with siblings, teachers, or with someone younger than yourself. ➡️ Before we celebrate too soon, luck may not be on our side right now, since BOTH these #planets will be QUINCUNX #JupiterRetrograde in #Scorpio! #Gemini loves to skim the surface but #Scorpio wants to go deep - though the later may be harder to access. We want to run, skip & play, not deep sea dive! Quincunx's bring obstacles, delays & blockages! ⚠️
Making it harder to stay on the "surface", is when #Venus in #Cancer forms its yearly OPPOSITION w/ #PlutoRetrograde in #Capricorn (@ 10:25pm EST). ❤️ This is power in love, pure & simple. Avoid power-struggles w/ loved ones if at all possible! If you are in a relationship, try to remember that each person in the relationship has his or her own: will, personality, likes & dislikes. If you are single, try not to obsess about being w/ another person or a crush too much. If you meet someone new during this transit, they may be #passionate, yet secretive. Pluto can bring up fanatical behavior, hidden fears, jealousy, & passion. 🌹

#Mars #Messiah @LouisFarrakhan teaches
"We were just students under a Master Teacher who asked us to STUDY.
THEN, #MasterFardMuhammad began to tell us about the distance of the planets and the #life that is on the planets.
He taught Elijah Muhammad, who was from the cotton fields of Georgia, and, who only went to the fourth grade of school.
If you compare what Master Fard Muhammad said in 1930 (now 79 years ago), with the dimensions that the scholars have given, every year they have gotten closer and closer, until now their computations are similar with Master Fard Muhammad's.
He is the man Who taught Elijah Muhammad, and came to raise us up from a dead level and make us RULERS over those who once ruled us—not by guns and sticks, but by giving us a SUPERIOR KNOWLEDGE.
In 1930, before you knew anything about #Mars, Master Fard Muhammad called Mars an “INHABITED PLANET.”
He said, “Mars is 141,500,000 miles from the sun, and she travels at the rate of 1,037 1/3 miles per hour.” He said, “Her diameter is 4,200 miles.”
Master Fard Muhammad said, “#Mercury is also an inhabited planet and is 36,000,000 miles from the sun. Her diameter is 3,000 miles and she travels at the rate of 1,037 1/3 miles per hour.” Think about that.
No matter how close they are to the sun or how far they are from the sun, ALL of the planets travel at the same rate of speed.
Master Fard Muhammad said, “#Jupiter is 483,000,000 miles from the sun. She takes eleven years and nine months to make one complete circle around the sun; her diameter is 88,700 miles; #Saturn is 886,000,000 miles from the sun; #Uranus, 1,782,000,000; #Neptune, 2,793,000,000 miles from the sun; and the far planet #Platoon, or #Pluto, 4,600,000,000 miles from the sun.”
Pluto was FIRST discovered in the year 1930, the SAME YEAR that Master Fard Muhammad found you and me.
How far is Pluto from the sun? Four billion, six hundred million (4,600,000,000) miles. In this figure, you have the numerals “4” and “6.”
The Book of Malachi, meaning, “My Messenger,” which is the last book of your Bible, tells us who we should be looking for: “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.” I will send you who? Elijah! In what chapter does his name appear? The 4th Chapter, verses 4-6.
Now, here is the meaning: The first “4” represents 4,000 years from Moses. Why Moses? Because both Bible and Qur'an teach us that the man that Allah (God) would send in the last days would be a man like unto Moses. How could you have a man like Moses unless you have a people like the Children of Israel, and, a wicked ruler like Pharaoh and his deceitful magicians? The second “4” represents our 400 years of bondage; and, the “6” represents the end of the 6,000-year rule of Caucasian people.
The far planet Platoon, or Pluto, is 4,600,000,000 miles away from the sun; yet, the light of the sun reaches her and has her spinning at the same speed of the other planets (1,037 and 1/3 miles per hour).
What does this mean? It means that when the Light of Allah (God) touches you, you will start turning and you will be going at the same speed of all the people of wisdom on the planet, as long as you stay in the light, acknowledge the light, submit to the light, bow down to the light and the God Who raised you and brought you to the light.
Master Fard Muhammad came and the authorities arrested Him in Detroit for teaching us the knowledge of ourselves. He submitted. He didn't have to go to jail, that is why the Book of Habakkuk teaches, “He had horns coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power.” The Book of Malachi teaches, “He became obedient even unto death.” “Death” here means the White man, because he represents death; and, we live in the very shadow of death under his rule." #Farrakhan: The Greatness of Master Fard Muhammad
