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

Overturning decades of assumptions about how Charon formed, researchers have revealed an entirely new form of cosmic collision.

Learn more about how this new mechanism may have shaped Pluto and its largest moon, Charon.

How did Pluto and its largest moon, Charon, form? This is what a recent study published in Nature Geoscience hopes to address as an international team of r | Space ...

Researchers in China have used a novel approach to explain the presence of supra-thermal ions in nuclear fusion reactions.

A NASA postdoctoral researcher at Southwest Research Institute has used advanced models that indicate that the ...

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.

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 ...

This discovery highlights the profound impact of the Moon-forming collision on Earth's structure and composition. Using computational fluid dynamics and a novel simulation method called Meshless ...
