An artist sponsored by European astronomers gathered data from the European Southern Astronomical Observatory (ESO) to form what would be a sunny day on Pluto, planet 40 times farther from the Sun than the Earth.

Thanks to the enormous distance, the sun on Pluto would be 1000 times smaller than is seen by us. It is also known that the planet one fifth the size of our surface is of -220 ° C, covered with spots of frozen methane and is surrounded by a cloud also methane.

The artist had the help of scientists to carefully study the planet before producing, in a computer, a landscape of Pluto. Once ready, the video ended up leaving astronomers surprised. "It's fascinating to think that we are able to measure and accurately reproduce the traces of a distant planet and much smaller than ours," said a director of the Observatory, Hans-Ulrich Kaufl.
