Pluto and Charon's origin story has been rewritten by a recent study, revealing they formed from a unique "kiss and capture" ...

A researcher has used advanced models that indicate that the formation of Pluto and Charon may parallel that of the Earth-Moon system. Both systems include a moon that is a large fraction of the size ...

A new study suggests that the origin of Pluto's largest moon was quite different than our own. Here's what you need to know.

New models reveal Pluto and Charon may have spent some of their early history locked together in an embrace after a grazing collision.

Until now, the thinking was that Pluto and Charon formed like Earth and our Moon. New research has flipped that script.

Pluto's big moon Charon may have a different origin story than scientists suspected. New research suggests the two bodies ...

Pluto and its moon Charon's meeting may be traced to a "kiss-and-capture" collision between the two. (CN) — The question of ...

The love story between Pluto and Charon may have started with a kiss. A new study suggests the dwarf planet and its scarcely smaller moon likely came together in a collision that saw them conjoined ...

Pluto and Charon’s meet-cute may have started with a kiss. New computer simulations of the dwarf planet and its largest moon suggest that the pair got together in a “kiss-and-capture” collision, where ...

New simulations propose a 'Kiss and Capture' scenario to explain the evolution of the dwarf planet and its main moon.

As part of its extensive slate of observations, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) recently took a closer look at Pluto’s ...
