Pluto Ice Volcanoes

A batch of dome-shaped ice volcanoes that look unlike anything else known in our solar system and may still be active have been identified on Pluto using data from NASA's New Horizons spacecraft, showing that this remote frigid world is more dynamic than previously known.

Lots of folks may still be salty over Pluto's "demotion" from planet to dwarf planet, but it's becoming apparent that the little worlds with this designation are anything but boring. In a set of six studies published Thursday in Science, researchers report that Ceres - a dwarf planet in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter - plays host to man...

From possible ice volcanoes to twirling moons, NASA's New Horizons science team is busy analysing more than 50 exciting discoveries about Pluto that the probe has revealed so far.

Scientists have discovered what appear to be ice-spewing volcanoes on the surface of Pluto, raising questions about how the tiny, distant world has been so geologically active, according to research presented on Monday.
