Pluto and its largest moon Charon orbit their mutual center of gravity (marked with 'x') in this still from the first color animation of Pluto from NASA's New Horizons spacecraft captured between May ...

WASHINGTON -- There's a chaotic dance going on at the far end of the solar system, involving Pluto and five of its closest friends, a new study finds. Hubble Space Telescope images of Pluto, its ...

Pluto gets jiggy with its biggest moon, Charon, in an amazing series of pictures just released by NASA's New Horizons mission. The time-lapse images from New Horizons' Long Range Reconnaissance Imager ...

In a new study, scientists have gathered all available NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope data on the four outer moons of Pluto to analyse the system in more depth than ever before. The observations show ...

Some 4.5 billion years ago, the dwarf planet Pluto was suddenly joined by a companion. For a brief period – perhaps only hours – they danced as if arm in arm before gently separating, a grand do-si-do ...

PLUTO's moons follow chaotic wobbly orbits around the planet doing a cosmic Weeble dance that could be the trigger for life, scientists have said. The unusual orbits around Pluto means it would be ...

There's a chaotic dance going on at the far end of the solar system, involving Pluto and five of its closest friends, a study finds. And it only happens once in five blue moons. The Hubble Space ...

Pluto and its largest satellite Charon are an odd pair. The relative size of the Charon means the two act as a double planet system, orbiting a center of gravity located between them in space. A study ...

The first color "movies" of Pluto as seen by NASA's New Horizons spacecraft reveal the sheer strangeness of the orbital dance between the dwarf planet and its largest moon Charon. In a new animation ...
