Researchers accounted for the previously overlooked structures of the dwarf planet and moon in computer simulations of a ...
Charon is large in size relative to Pluto, and is locked in a tight orbit with the dwarf planet. A new simulation suggests how it ended up there.
A new study proposes a 'kiss and capture' collision theory to explain the origins of Charon, Pluto's largest moon, shedding ...
Pluto and its moon Charon's meeting may be traced to a "kiss-and-capture" collision between the two. (CN) — The question of ...
New simulations propose a 'Kiss and Capture' scenario to explain the evolution of the dwarf planet and its main moon.
Billions of years ago, two icy worlds—Pluto and Chron—collided in the farthest reaches of our solar system. But rather than ...
In our solar system, Earth is one of only three worlds that sees temperatures above 32 degrees Fahrenheit, while other ...
The Sun, the planets, and all else that constitutes the solar system are hurtling toward the star Lambda Herculis, some 370 ...
Until now, the thinking was that Pluto and Charon formed like Earth and our Moon. New research has flipped that script.
For decades, astronomers suspected that Pluto and Charon formed through a process similar to Earth and the Moon. This theory, ...
