PLUTO AND CHARON: THE COSMIC SNOWMAN STORY
Billions of years ago, Pluto and Charon collided—but instead of chaos, they briefly fused, spun together, and separated, locked in orbit forever.
This “kiss and capture” defies traditional collision theories. Unlike Earth’s molten moon-forming impact, icy Pluto and Charon clung together due to their structural strength.
The result? A binary system that may have warmed Pluto enough to form a subsurface ocean, rewriting how we understand icy worlds’ evolution.
