Amazing and interesting discoveries that will blow your mind
let's look at four of the most incredible scientific discoveries of the year 2000. 1.Despite being unceremoniously demoted from a planet to a dwarf planet in 2006, that year also saw the launch of the New Horizons spacecraft, which was intended to travel to the outermost regions of our solar system and study the dwarf planet. The spacecraft arrived at its destination in July 2015, and the images and data it returned were incredibly interesting and far from being the usual frozen rock, it turned out to contain what some had expected to be moving glaciers, floating icebergs and vast frozen oceans of solid nitrogen, the Ice is always moving slowly because the pressure on it heats it up, causing it to rise. The constant replenishment of the top layer of ice is creating surface structures that no one could have predicted, providing new insights and understanding of events on the mysterious dwarf planet on the edge of our solar system.
