Scientist: Pluto will turn into a habitable planet-the ocean

the Pluto and some moons of Jupiter and Saturn can be inhabited after the Sun becomes a red giant, says Professor Pont from the University of Exeter. This can happen in 4.5 to 5 billion years, when light will exhaust the reserves of hydrogen and start burning helium. As a result the Sun is heated to ultra high temperatures and the outer shell will swell, engulfing mercury and Venus. The earth will turn into a glowing ball.

Pluto and some moons of Jupiter and Saturn can be inhabited after the Sun becomes a red giant, says Professor Pont from the University of Exeter. This can happen in 4.5 to 5 billion years, when light will exhaust the reserves of hydrogen and start burning helium. As a result the Sun is heated to ultra high temperatures and the outer shell will swell, engulfing mercury and Venus. The earth will turn into a glowing ball.

Frederic Pont of the University of Exeter have thought about like turning the Sun into a red giant will have an impact on how to look like Europa and Ganymede, satellites of Jupiter, Enceladus and Titan, satellites of Saturn, and Pluto. They are balls of frozen water ice, nitrogen, ammonia and hydrocarbons, and in the depths of them there is warm ice-ocean, writes "RIA Novosti".

according to the calculations, after the depletion of hydrogen in the center of the so-called zone of life — beam orbits where water can exist in liquid form, shift the surroundings of the Earth's orbit where it is today, to the orbit of Jupiter. Due to this, Europe and Ganymede must completely melt and turn into a planet-oceans.

In this form, they will last tens of millions years, during which the temperature inside the Sun will rise, and the center of the zone of life will move in the direction of Saturn. When the core of the star heated to a sufficiently high level, it "lights up" helium and the brightness of the lights is expected to grow dramatically in a very short time.

In the period lasting several million years the flash centre zone life will probably shift to Titan and Enceladus, and then, at the peak of this process, will be in the vicinity of Pluto. During this small time period the temperature on the surface of Pluto would be approximately the same as those on today's Earth that will melt his nitrogen and water ice and turn it into an ocean world.

Pluto has no magnetic field of its own, and its atmosphere, formed by the melting of its hydrocarbon and nitrogen ice, will "stretch" powerful solar winds of the dying Sun, making it look like a giant comet.

Pluto quickly hardens after the flash and will be similar to Ganymede and Europe, smooth ball of ice. As emphasized by the Pont for time, life in the oceans of Enceladus, Europa and Pluto is unlikely to emerge. However, all this indicates the existence of possible secondary origin of life in the Solar system after her death on Earth.
