We often discuss our future in the Asteroid Belt, and the glorious civilizations we might one day build there. However, it is ...

Scientists propose Pluto and its moon Charon formed through a "kiss and capture" event 4.5 billion years ago, challenging ...

"We were definitely surprised by the 'kiss' part of kiss-and-capture. There hasn't really been a kind of impact before where ...

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

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.

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

Pluto and Charon’s meet-cute may have started with a kiss. New computer simulations of the dwarf planet and its largest moon suggest that the pair got together in a “kiss-and-capture” collision, where ...

Among the finds is an object thought to be an asteroid from the main belt, which lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

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

We went to the public library in Sham Shui Po during our school’s reading week. Hong Kong’s public libraries give us many ...

What will 2025 bring from the final frontier? The rise of Amazon's Project Kuiper satellite network will be one of the big ...

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 ...
