Using computer models, researchers studying Pluto and its moon, Charon, have discovered an unforeseen kind of cosmic ...

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

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.

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

Researchers accounted for the previously overlooked structures of the dwarf planet and moon in computer simulations of a ...

Pluto likely acquired large moon Charon in a “kiss and capture” collision billions of years ago. It may have created a ...

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

A new study proposes a 'kiss and capture' collision theory to explain the origins of Charon, Pluto's largest moon, shedding ...

Kerberos and Hydra – which are tiny compared with Charon and were glimpsed when NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft flew past Pluto in 2015. The team’s model could offer a new explanation for how ...

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 ...
