Pluto was kicked off the list of major planets. It seems to have responded by turning a mysterious red color, according to scientists working with the Hubble Space Telescope. They’re now trying to find out what makes its surface so dynamic. From the Space Telescope Science Institute.

@drifter1998 if the planets shape changes, therefore it has to have a similar tectonic plate system to ours a liquid core that is still hot and lava to be vented to create surface pattern change, the colour change would possibly be from vented gasses,scientists arrogance clouds thier thought process i feel

for some reason i thought pluto would be purple.
April 15th, 2011 at 2:21 am
I have a theory…. it says that pluto orbits elliptically,and its surface is becoming dynamic this 2011,it could elliptically orbit to Earth and we can see a big red circle or dot (whatever)in the sky.Could Pluto be Planet X/Nibiru that could SMASH Earth in 2012…??? Just a theory guys… Thumbs up if you agree o_o

@hobitcook Perhaps, somewhere out there in the unknown vastnes of the Universe, you will find a keyboard with a working caps lock key.

Maybe Pluto is turning red because it’s embarrassed??
April 15th, 2011 at 2:21 am
It’s not Uranus !!!
April 15th, 2011 at 2:21 am
OMG! I LOVE planets and space and stuff. I got interested in it all of a sudden. The reason I’m so interested in it is that its like you can find ANYTHING on ALL of those planets. You got valcanos and gas and no oxygen and interesting colours.

AWESOME! Pluto is an AMAZING PLANET! WHY? Because it is so unique yet mysterious! I hope it is Geologically Active! It has 3 moons, Charon, (750mi. Ø) Nix (±85mi. Ø) and Hydra (±100mi Ø). I can’t wait for 2014, when they launch the James Webb Telescope, and what it finds on Pluto before the New Horizons mission gets there in 2015, (successfully I hope). I think Pluto & Charon are much like Neptune’s moon, Triton. Triton is Geologically active! We need to focus on technology for Science, NOT war!

@sloppymantis that comment was as useful as a poopy flavored lollipop

@Craigipedia We’ll learn to live and work together.. we just need to get rid of unnecessary population (say narrow it down to 5 million humans) via disease, poisoned food and water etc. Then invent an imaginary enemy like terrorists or aliens or perhaps giant distaster so the people will let you chip them. As long as all the peasants are subservient (perhaps put flouride in their water?) then we can have world peace and the rich can rule from the stars the workers on earth 🙂

What is 4% of infinity
April 15th, 2011 at 2:21 am
@Craigipedia your right our minds are to stupid to go to space though we need more clever people today its war they think war is bad wait till they see whats out there the whole planet needs to stop fighting and work together if we will survive
April 15th, 2011 at 2:21 am
@Craigipedia Its the muslim’s that stop this. Our president is so stupid. We wouldnt even need every country.
US, Europe and Russia can do it, but we care more about stupid stuff. I fully agree that we, as a planet, should divert ALL we have to finding a new planet.

@Craigipedia agreed
