Pluto

Gate of Hell opens to visitors

The Gate of Hell, (Plutonium), which was unearthed in 2013 by the Italian excavation team in Pamukkale, one of Türkiye's UNESCO World Cultural Heritage sites, has been opened to visitors. Plutonium, which is called the "gateway to the land of the dead" in ancient sources, began hosting hundreds of local and foreign tourists on the very first day.

Gate of Hell to open to visitors

The Gate of Hell (Plutonium), which was discovered in 2013 in the excavations in the ancient city of Hierapolis, located next to Pamukkale in western Turkey, and which was considered as the "gateway to the land of the dead" in the ancient world, is set to be opened to visitors this year.

Mysterious "Planet 9"

The furore surrounding the solar system's theoretical 'Planet 9' reached new heights after a University of Michigan researcher discovered evidence that may shed light on the existence of the elusive world beyond Neptune.

Distant world orbits beyond Pluto

Astronomers have spotted a distant world that orbits far beyond Pluto, in the extreme reaches of the Solar System.
The object, known informally as L91, may be in the process of gradually shifting its way inward from the Oort cloud — a reservoir of comets and other icy bodies — into the equally icy Kuiper belt. No object has ever been seen doing this.

Astronomers discover new 9th planet in our solar system that’s ten times the size of earth! (vid)

Astronomers have noticed that some distant objects far beyond Pluto are behaving oddly and are speculating as to whether there may be a huge ninth planet ten times larger than earth at the edge of our solar system. Nicknamed Planet Nine, the structure has an extremely elongated orbit that takes from 10,000 to 20,000 years to swing once around the sun.

A breathtaking window into Pluto’s geology (pics+vid)

The best photos from the New Horizons spacecraft that buzzed Pluto earlier this year were released by NASA providing resolutions of less than 100 yards per pixel.

NASA also published a video compiled from the sharpest views of Pluto seen so far from New Horizons.

The new images show details of craters and mountains, along with icy plains.
