NH Blog post today about how the red pole may be tholins left behind after some of Pluto's atmosphere freezes onto Charon's dark pole, only to sublimate away leaving behind trace tholins: Nice theory. If correct this must be a very slow or no longer active process as we see a few bright impact craters punched into it. Wonderful image NH/machi. |
