New study reveals Pluto and Charon’s origin: a unique "kiss and capture" collision redefines how binary systems form.

Pluto may have ‘kissed’ Charon to capture itNew models reveal Pluto and Charon may have spent some of their early history locked together in an embrace after a grazing ...
Pluto likely acquired large moon Charon in a “kiss and capture” collision billions of years ago. It may have created a subsurface ocean on the icy dwarf planet.
For decades, astronomers suspected that Pluto and Charon formed through a process similar to Earth and the Moon. This theory, ...
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.
