(Before It's News)

One of NASA’s mains scientists has told media that NASA will be making another HUGE announcement about dwarf planet Pluto. What has NASA discovered this time? 2015 has been a year full of discoveries… Flowing water on MArs… an Earth-like planet that could even support life… and now a mysterious announcement is going to be made about Pluto.

According to the Guardian, senior planetary scientist Dr Alan Stern was looking at high-resolution images of Pluto and its largest moon Charon, when he stated that “The World is Alive.”

According to Dr Stern: “It has weather, it has hazes in the atmosphere, active geology.” Dr Stern said NASA will release a new batch of images this Friday and will change everything we know about the solar system. Last week NASA unveiled incredible new images of Pluto which show an incredible landscape of mountains with huge craters and gorges.

“NASA won’t let me tell you what we’re going to tell you on Thursday. It’s amazing,” he said.

But what are the big news? Space enthusiasts are expecting huge news to be revealed because of the approach NASA has taken for the announcement. What are we looking at here? Is it possible that NASA has found life on the edge of the Solar System? There are a number of unknowns about the dwarf planet. Pluto has vast dune fields, a multicolored surface and a series of other mysterious features that scientists have not been able to explain.

 

 

NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft looked back toward the sun and captured this near-sunset view of the rugged, icy mountains and flat ice plains extending to Pluto’s horizon.

Similar methods were used when the space agency announced the discovery of Earth-like planet Kepler 452-B and the most recent discovery of flowing water on the surface of the red planet.

According to Dr Stern, only ten percent of the total data from the New Horizons Spacecraft has been downloaded and scientists expect to learn a lot more about the dwarf planet and its moons as new information arrives to Earth.

In recent images scientists were able to find out that Pluto’s biggest moon Charon has a huge canyon system running a staggering 2500km across its surface.

“2015 will be a year in textbooks forever,” said Dr Stern.
