Pluto's Ocean Is Literally Made Of Antifreeze
« on: November 17, 2016, 02:13:36 pm »
New research from scientists at the University of California and MIT shows there’s an ocean of slushy liquid similar to antifreeze below the surface of Pluto.

Scientists used data from NASA’s New Horizons to conclude the liquid ocean is probably water mixed with ammonia, which is similar to some commercial antifreeze. The liquid helps keep Pluto relatively warm.

“As far as we can tell, there’s no tidal heating helping to keep the ocean liquid,” Dr. Francis Nimmo, a scientist from the University of California at Santa Cruz who was involved in the research, told Universe Today. “The main heat source keeping the ocean liquid is radioactive decay in Pluto’s rocky interior, although it certainly helps if there is an ‘antifreeze’ present.”..

You may find 'nobility' in a savage. But never forget that his first instinct is to kill you.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists

Perhaps we ought to rename the planet to "Prestone".

"If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people."    -Calvin Coolidge

Well that's handy. Now we'll know where to stop if we have a radiator hose give out on the way to Proxima Centauri.

I think Pluto has become my favorite planet. Or what ever object it is now. In my heart it's always going to be a planet.

We could put the naming rights out for competitive bidding among the coolant makers.
