  • Kubrick, Nemo Y Dorothy Inspiran Nuevos Nombres En Una Luna De Plutón
    CIENCIAS Kubrick, Nemo y Dorothy inspiran nuevos nombres en una luna de Plutón La Unión Astronómica Internacional ha aprobado los nombres de una docena de cráteres, valles y montes de Caronte, la luna más grande de Plutón. Los términos fueron propuestos por el equipo de la misión New Horizons de la NASA e incluyen algunos tan conocidos como el del cineasta Stanley Kubrick, el escritor Arthur C. Clarke, el capitán Nemo o el personaje de Dorothy Gale de El mago de Oz, además de barcos fantasma y mitológicos. SINC 13/4/2018 13:31 CEST Proyección del mapa de Caronte con la docena de nombres oficiales recién aprobados para elementos de su superficie. / NASA/Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory/Southwest Research Institute Caronte es el satélite más grande de Plutón. Con un diámetro de unos 1.215 km y un tamaño similar al de Francia, es uno de los objetos más grandes del cinturón de Kuiper, la región de cuerpos helados y rocosos que se mueven más allá de Neptuno. El nombre de Caronte hace referencia al barquero que guiaba las sombras errantes de los difuntos de un lado a otro del río Aqueronte, según la mitología griega. Los nombres los ha propuesto el equipo de la misión New Horizons con la ayuda de una campaña abierta al público denominada 'Our Pluto' CIENCIAS Esta luna tiene gran cantidad de cráteres, montes y valles largos y profundos conocidos como ‘chasmas’. Ahora una docena de estas estructuras geológicas han recibido su nombre oficial por parte de la Unión Astronómica Internacional (IAU), la autoridad reconocida para nombrar a los cuerpos celestes y los elementos de su superficie.

  • Official Charon Names
    New Horizons:: Pluto's Largest Moon Gets Its First Official Feature Names Page 1 of 3 Home (http://pluto.jhuapl.edu) » News Center (http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/News-Center/) » News Article (http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/News- Center/News-Article.php?page=20180411) News View News Archive » (News-Archives.php) April 11, 2018 Pluto's Largest Moon Gets Its First Official Feature Names Legendary explorers and visionaries, real and fictitious, are among those immortalized in the first set of official surface-feature names for Pluto's largest moon, Charon. The International Astronomical Union (IAU), the internationally recognized authority for naming celestial bodies and their surface features, recently approved a dozen names proposed by NASA's New Horizons mission team, which led the first reconnaissance of Pluto and its moons (by the New Horizons spacecraft) in 2015. The New Horizons science team had been using some of the chosen names informally to describe the many valleys, crevices and craters discovered during that first close-up look at Charon's surface. "Charon is among the 10 largest bodies in the Kuiper Belt, a world unto itself, with a fascinating geological history and many kinds of geological features beyond the craters seen on most moons," said Alan Stern, New Horizons principal investigator from Southwest Research Institute, Boulder, Colorado. "Now those features, and some of Charon's most important craters, have official names." In moving the names through approval, Stern lauded the work of the New Horizons Nomenclature Working Group, which along with Stern included science team members Mark Showalter – the group's chairman and liaison to the IAU – Ross Beyer, Will Grundy, William McKinnon, Jeff Moore, Cathy Olkin, Paul Schenk and Amanda Zangari.
