Currently, the region on the satellite of Pluto is red.
Team New Horizon explained the origin of the region of Mordor on the Charon — satellite of Pluto. A study published in the journal Nature.
Mordor is formed by methane, which migrated from Pluto. Subsequently, the gas passed into the solid state. This contributed to extremely low temperatures to Mordor, located at the North pole of Charon.
Currently, the region on the satellite of Pluto is red. Such a shade he had acquired during many cold winters, each of which lasts more than a hundred years. Upon completion of methane ice is undergoing transformation into compounds with a characteristic color.
To such conclusions scientists have analyzed the data of New Horizon and after computer simulation. The latter confirmed the previously expressed assumption about the nature of Mordor.
The main objective of New Horizons is to study Pluto and its satellite Charon. Scientific equipment installed on it, designed to collect data about the possible existence of the magnetosphere of the dwarf planet, its atmosphere and structure of the surface, as well as about interacting with Charon.
