🧊 Liquid nitrogen flow spotted on Pluto's surface

Researchers found evidence suggesting liquid nitrogen may have recently flowed on Pluto’s surface. This was observed in Sputnik Planitia, a glacier on the dwarf planet, using images from NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft. The features were seen in mosaics taken on July 14, 2015, near the dwarf planet's equator. Because solar heating is insufficient, liquid nitrogen is the best explanation for these sharply bounded surface patterns. Scientists propose that interior heat causes eruptions, which could mirror processes on other outer Solar System bodies. 🧊
