  2. Cosmic noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_noise

    Cosmic noise occurs at frequencies above about 15 MHz when highly directional antennas are pointed toward the Sun or other regions of the sky, such as the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. Celestial objects like quasars , which are super dense objects far from Earth, emit electromagnetic waves in their full spectrum, including radio waves.

  3. Arecibo message - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arecibo_message

    The message was broadcast into space a single time via frequency modulated radio waves at a ceremony to mark the remodeling of the Arecibo Telescope in Puerto Rico on 16 November 1974. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The message was aimed at the current location of M13, about 25,000 light years from Earth, because M13 was a large and relatively close collection of ...

  4. Pluto - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pluto

    Pluto (minor-planet designation: 134340 Pluto) is a dwarf planet in the Kuiper belt, a ring of bodies beyond the orbit of Neptune. It is the ninth-largest and tenth-most-massive known object to directly orbit the Sun. It is the largest known trans-Neptunian object by volume, by a small margin, but is less massive than Eris.

  5. Over-the-horizon radar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Over-the-horizon_radar

    The frequency of radio waves used by most radars, in the form of microwaves, travel in straight lines.This generally limits the detection range of radar systems to objects on their horizon (generally referred to as "line of sight" since the aircraft must be at least theoretically visible to a person at the location and elevation of the radar transmitter) due to the curvature of the Earth.

  6. Orbital resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_resonance

    The minimum separation between the two bodies overall is 17 AU, while the minimum separation between Pluto and Uranus is just 11 AU [31] (see Pluto's orbit for detailed explanation and graphs). The next largest body in a similar 2:3 resonance with Neptune, called a plutino , is the probable dwarf planet Orcus .

  7. Moons of Pluto - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moons_of_Pluto

    Pluto's four small circumbinary moons orbit Pluto at two to four times the distance of Charon, ranging from Styx at 42,700 kilometres to Hydra at 64,800 kilometres from the barycenter of the system. They have nearly circular prograde orbits in the same orbital plane as Charon. All are much smaller than Charon.

  8. Atmosphere of Pluto - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere_of_Pluto

    Pluto is the only trans-Neptunian object with a known atmosphere. [7] Its closest analog is the atmosphere of Triton, although in some aspects it resembles even the atmosphere of Mars. [8] [9] The atmosphere of Pluto has been studied since the 1980s by way of earth-based observation of occultations of stars by Pluto [10] [11] and spectroscopy. [12]

  9. Audio frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_frequency

    An audio frequency or audible frequency (AF) is a periodic vibration whose frequency is audible to the average human. The SI unit of frequency is the hertz (Hz). It is the property of sound that most determines pitch. [1] The generally accepted standard hearing range for humans is 20 to 20,000 Hz.
