Pluto has long been a mystery to astronomers. However, the New Horizons probe launched by NASA has finally succeeded in capturing the entire Plutonic system with the dwarf planet being revolved about by its five characteristic moons. Though Charon, Hydra and Nix were captured in the past, it is the first time that the dwarf planet's dwarf and faintest satellites namely Kerberos and Styx have been captured by the space agency. read more

The Larsen B ice shelf which started disintegrating in 2002 has worried the NASA scientists once again. The remnant spread in 625 square mile area is 1640 feet thick at its thickest point and has acted as a bridge between glacial ice and the ocean surface for over 10000 years. However, research has pointed out that it is disintegrating at a break neck speed and could be gone in a matter of a few decades. read more
