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 ...

Pluto and Charon's origin story has been rewritten by a recent study, revealing they formed from a unique "kiss and capture" ...

New models reveal Pluto and Charon may have spent some of their early history locked together in an embrace after a grazing collision.

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

Simulations suggest Pluto and its largest moon may have gently stuck together for a few hours before Charon settled into a ...

A new study suggests that the origin of Pluto's largest moon was quite different than our own. Here's what you need to know.

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 ...

The team led by Denton created simulations of the impact using high-performance computing clusters. This revealed that Pluto ...

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