🧵 I have gained a fascination with Pluto

It's characteristically unlike every other planet in the Solar System. If I could choose any planet to spend my last moments on, it would probably be Pluto.

Why? It's a cold ice rock. Titan, Europa and Io are far more interesting. Eventually, Pluto's main use will be a ground station to mount large communications equipment for our probes to Alpha Centarui.

I like the red parts that contrast with the ice.

All these images exaggerate how bright the sun is from Pluto.

Does the sun give light enough to Pluto to even consider it having a day and night?

No they just imply a camera (or eyes) adapted for much lower light than Earth

What about the dwarf planet Eris? It's in the solar system and same size as Pluto

Yes as the other anon said daytime on Pluto is like evening on earth, like half an hour before sunset. Alternatively it's like a brightly lit office. Your eyes would adjust but there wouldn't be enough light for plants to grow
