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.

New research suggests Pluto may have had a “kiss” with its largest moon billions of years ago in a harmless collision. The report, published in “Nature Geoscience,” describes how the minuscule dwarf ...

Pluto and its largest moon Charon could have come together via a 10-hour “kiss-and-capture” encounter after a grazing ...

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

Pluto and Charon may have formed through a “kiss and capture” mechanism, with the two icy bodies colliding and becoming ...

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 ...

January 5, 2005, is an astronomical anniversary that is not really marked but should be. It saw the discovery of dwarf planet ...

The theory could explain how the dwarf planet (yeah, we wish Pluto was still a planet, too) could snare a moon that is around half its size. The team behind this research thinks that two frigid ...

On January 5, 2005, astronomers at NASA discovered Eris, the second-largest dwarf planet in the solar system. Eris is just slightly smaller than Pluto, and it orbits the sun about three times farther ...

In 2005, Eris was discovered. It was considered the largest known dwarf planet in the solar system until a year later when Pluto was downgraded from being a planet. In 2008, tribal violence ...
