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

A new theory about Pluto’s largest moon, Charon, could alter how planetary systems are taught in U.S. schools. Scientists ...

“Because Pluto is rotating rapidly prior to the collision, and because Charon lies mostly outside of their corotation zone, ...

For decades, astronomers suspected that Pluto and Charon formed through a process similar to Earth and the Moon. This theory, ...

Billions of years ago, two icy worlds—Pluto and Chron—collided in the farthest reaches of our solar system. But rather than ...

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.

Today ' co-hosts Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager predicted that Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift will get engaged soon. "It's ...

Unlike Earth, where the Moon orbits the planet, Pluto and Charon orbit each other, forming a binary system that is more ...

They needed some space. 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 ...
