Exotic Ice Formations Found on Pluto

We just made a new discovery about Pluto

A NASA-led study found that a jagged landscape
around Pluto's equator is made of frozen methane

The bizarre landscape resembles a row of knives
with the edges pointing up

The features on Pluto are similar to ice
formations on Earth called penitentes...

But the formations on Pluto can measure
hundreds of feet tall

Researchers used data from the New Horizons
spacecraft to make their discovery

These findings will help us understand the
mysteries of Pluto's geological past
