NASA's New Horizons Data Helps Identify a Possible Source for Pluto's Moon Charon's Red Cap
NASA's New Horizons mission data along with novel laboratory experiments and exospheric modelling has helped scientists to reveal the likely composition of the red cap on Pluto's moon Charon and how it may have formed. The team realistically replicated Charon surface conditions to measure the composition and colour of hydrocarbons produced on Charo...

Researchers Unravel the Origin and Composition of Red Spot on Pluto’s Moon Charon
Combining data obtained from several sources, scientists have managed to unravel the mystery behind the red cap on Pluto's moon Charon and its composition. NASA's interplanetary space probe New Horizons had captured the reddish region on the top of Charon and collected data in 2015.

Pluto May Have Started Out Its Life as a Hothead
Pluto, a frigid little world inhabiting the solar system's outer reaches, may have been born as a warmer place sheltering a subsurface ocean that still exists today, researchers said on Monday.

Pluto's Icy Heart Regulates Its Atmospheric Circulation: Study
Pluto's heart-shaped structure, named Tombaugh Regio, quickly became famous after NASA's New Horizons mission captured footage of the dwarf planet in 2015 and revealed it is not the barren world scientists thought it was.
-
Mystery Behind Pluto's 'Bladed Terrain' Decoded
The mysterious "bladed terrain" of Pluto is made almost entirely of methane ice, and likely formed as a kind of erosion that wore away the planet's surfaces, leaving dramatic crests and sharp divides, scientists say.
-
Underground Ocean Found On Pluto, Likely Slushy With Ice
Scientists have found evidence that tiny, distant Pluto harbors a hidden ocean beneath the frozen surface of its heart-shaped central plain containing as much water as all of Earth's seas.
-
Pluto May Have Liquid Ocean Under Ice Shell: Study
Present day Pluto may have a liquid ocean sloshing around under its icy crust, according to to a new analysis of data from NASA's New Horizons spacecraft.

Nasa's New Horizons Clicks Most Detailed Photo of Pluto's Surface Yet
The view extends from the "limb" of Pluto at the top of the strip, almost to the "terminator" (or day/night line) in the southeast of the encounter hemisphere.

Pluto's Moon Hydra Has Pristine Water Ice
NASA's New Horizons spacecraft has sent first-ever data about Pluto's four moons that shows that the surface of Hydra is dominated by nearly pristine water ice.

Giant 'Bite Mark' Appears on Pluto's Surface
The methane ice-rich surface on Pluto may be sublimating away into the atmosphere, exposing a layer of water-ice underneath.
