Scientists have found evidence that tiny, distant Pluto harbours a hidden ocean beneath the frozen surface of its heart-shaped central plain that contains as much water as all of Earth's seas. The ...

Pluto may harbour a slushy water ocean beneath its most prominent surface feature, known as the "heart". This could explain why part of the heart-shaped region - called Sputnik Planitia - is locked in ...

This could explain why part of the heart-shaped region - called Sputnik Planitia - is locked in alignment with Pluto's largest moon Charon. A viscous ocean beneath the icy crust could have acted as a ...

The vast heart-shaped plain on Pluto, which captured the imagination of people on Earth following our first close-up glimpse of the dwarf planet, might be hiding an ocean of slushy water ice. While ...

A new study proposes that Pluto formed rapidly with a hot interior, subsequently sustaining a subsurface liquid ocean for billions of years, contrary to prior cold-start formation theories. Geological ...

New research into New Horizon images of Pluto lend further credence to the theory that oceans are swirling beneath the icy dwarf planet’s surface. Our solar system is a waterpark. Almost ...

An ocean of liquid water deep beneath the icy surface of Pluto is coming into focus thanks to new calculations by Alex Nguyen, a graduate student in earth, environmental and planetary sciences in Arts ...

HOUSTON: Scientists have found evidence that tiny, distant Pluto harbors a hidden ocean beneath the frozen surface of its heart-shaped central plain containing as much water as all of Earth's seas.

New analysis has revealed that Pluto could be harbouring a liquid ocean under its icy crust. According to a new study published in Geophysical Research Letters, the theory that Pluto’s oceans ...
