Can You Find Pluto?
These two images show the motion of
the planet Pluto after nearly three hours during a single night. They
were obtained by Advanced Teen astronomers on June 19, 1996, at the 61"
telescope with the 2048x2048 pixel CCD camera. The exposure
time was 30 seconds each.
To blink the two images and see the motion of Pluto, click and follow directions.
By calculating the angle through which
Pluto should move and then measuring its actual displacement, you can
determine the field-of-view of these images.
