Chapter 1868: Magical Concentric Circles

Chapter 1868 Magical Concentric Circles

From a distance, Zhao Zhongyao saw a bright celestial body appearing in front of the porthole of the spacecraft cockpit cabin.

Although Pluto is far from the sun, it is difficult to see this faint celestial body if viewed with the naked eye from Earth. But when you're only tens of millions of kilometers away, you see it as a very bright object in the sky.

'Dad, is that bright object in front of you Pluto? ’ Feifei happily pointed to the bright star outside the porthole.

'Of course, that's where we're going. Zhao Zhongyao also said happily looking at the bright celestial body outside the porthole.

Tian Tian and Qu Yuqian also looked curiously at the bright celestial body outside the porthole. After all, they were also curious about Pluto.

'Dad, let's go there quickly! ’ Feifei couldn’t wait any longer, and wanted to go to Pluto to have a look.

'Okay, let's speed up! After Zhao Zhongyao finished speaking, he drove the spacecraft and accelerated to Pluto.

The speed of the spacecraft is very fast, and everyone can clearly see that the size of Pluto outside the porthole is getting bigger and bigger, and it soon fills up the entire porthole.

At this time, everyone can not only see Pluto, but also several small satellites of Pluto. Of course, the largest moon is Charon, also known as Charon. This is a very well known moon of Pluto.

Since the volume of Charon is only a little smaller than that of Pluto, the center of mass of the two celestial bodies is not inside any one celestial body, but between the two celestial bodies.

So, the relationship between Pluto and Charon is not that one is completely revolving around the other, but that the two celestial bodies are revolving around each other.

Pluto and Charon are generally considered to be a double dwarf system, and several other small satellites revolve around a pair of double dwarf systems.

Zhao Zhongyao drove the spacecraft, and soon flew over Pluto. From this place, you can see that Pluto is not very far from Charon, and Charon hangs in the sky like a huge moon.

Pluto also has an atmosphere, and it is similar to the atmosphere on Earth, and it is all blue. From a distance, it feels somewhat similar to the environment on Earth.

Zhao Zhongyao drove the spacecraft to a place hundreds of kilometers above Pluto. From this place, the entire shape of Pluto can be seen.

At this moment, Feifei looked at Zhao Zhongyao and asked, "Dad, where should we go to find the ninth amethyst gemstone?" Where will the ninth amethyst gemstone we are looking for be on Pluto? '

Zhao Zhongyao thought for a while and said, "We can go directly to the largest impact crater on Pluto. I feel that the ninth amethyst gemstone we are looking for is in this huge impact crater." '

After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, Feifei asked inexplicably, 'Dad, how can you be so sure that the ninth amethyst gemstone we are looking for must be in this impact crater? '

'Of course, because Pluto is far from the sun, the temperature on the surface is very low. The amethyst gemstones we are looking for are generally in a place with a relatively high temperature.

On Pluto, only in some impact craters can there be places with relatively high temperatures. The bottom of Pluto's largest crater is most likely a warmer place. 'Zhao Zhongyao looked at Feifei and said.

After hearing Zhao Zhongyao's words, Feifei also said happily, 'Dad, let's go there quickly! I wanted to quickly see what the largest impact crater on Pluto looked like. '

'Okay, let's fly straight to the biggest crater. After Zhao Zhongyao finished speaking, he drove the spacecraft again and flew towards the largest impact crater on Pluto.

While flying, Zhao Zhongyao also introduced to everyone the situation of the most impact crater on Pluto.

The largest impact crater on Pluto is called Burnie Impact Crater. The reason why it is called Burnie Impact Crater is to commemorate an 11-year-old British girl, Venetia Burnie. It was this little girl who suggested Pluto's name, which was eventually agreed by the International Astronomical Union.

The Burnie crater is one of the largest impact craters on Pluto. The diameter reached 296 kilometers. Therefore, this impact crater is also called the Burnie Basin.

Because this impact crater is very large, it will be impacted by other small celestial bodies within a long period of time. Therefore, inside this huge impact crater, there will be other impact craters, making this huge impact crater form a circle of concentric circles.

Due to less than one impact, the material inside Pluto can be presented, so it has extremely convenient conditions for studying the internal structure of Pluto.

In short, this Bernie impact crater is very magical, and it is a place worthy of investigation and research.

After Zhao Zhongyao first told everyone some knowledge about the largest impact crater on Pluto-the Bernie impact crater, he drove the spacecraft to the sky above this impact crater.

Observing this Bernie impact crater from an altitude of several kilometers presents a beautiful image. Because there are some smaller impact craters in this huge impact crater, so this huge impact crater has become a circle of concentric circles, which looks like Someone deliberately drew such standard concentric circles on the surface of Pluto with a huge compass.

'Dad, this crater looks amazing! It turned out to be a circle of concentric circles. ’ Feifei looked at the Bernie impact crater below and said curiously.

'yes! It's so beautiful. ’ I also look at Bernie below every day

Crater happily chimed in.

Zhao Zhongyao smiled and said,'Yes, the magical creation of nature is often beyond our imagination. '

After finishing speaking, Zhao Zhongyao drove the spacecraft again and flew towards the bottom of this huge Bernie impact crater.

Soon, Zhao Zhongyao drove the spacecraft to the bottom of the smallest impact crater in the middle of this huge impact crater.

At the bottom, you can see a huge icy lake. Of course, this is not an ice lake formed by freezing water, but an ice lake formed by nitrogen ice.

The entire frozen lake is majestic and magnificent, with a diameter of about ten kilometers. The outside of the entire frozen lake is very flat, and there is nothing else.

However, in the middle of this huge icy lake, there is a small island. This is a small island with a diameter of about 500 meters.

When you see this ice lake, you don't feel very strange. After all, you have seen many such ice lakes on other planets before.

However, when everyone saw the small island in the middle of the lake, they were all taken aback.
