Demoted planet Pluto may have an ice volcano on its surface the size of Yellowstone, scientists recently discovered. The newly discovered volcano, Kiladze Caldera, was originally pegged as a crater ...

WASHINGTON, March 29 (Reuters) — A batch of dome-shaped ice volcanoes that look unlike anything else known in our solar system and may still be active have been identified on Pluto using data from ...

(CNN) -- Images of Pluto captured by NASA's New Horizons mission have revealed a new surprise: ice volcanoes. The spacecraft performed a flyby of the dwarf planet and its moons in July 2015, and the ...

A crater named Kiladze on Pluto’s surface may be a supervolcano that once spewed massive amounts of icy material from the dwarf planet’s interior, according to new research. Data gathered by the New ...

Pluto with a super-cryovolcano? Why not! All the elements are there, just not in the way we normally think of volcanoes. And cryovolcanoes are the reason why Pluto's surface looks the way it does. A ...

Pluto is home to a pair of spiky mountains with holes on the top. That sounds an awful lot like we just found a pair of cryovolcanoes on the distant frozen world! The informally-named Wright Mons and ...

Scientists with NASA’s New Horizons mission have assembled this highest-resolution color view of one of two potential cryovolcanoes spotted on the surface of Pluto by the New Horizons spacecraft in ...

The informally named Wright Mons (Wright Mountain) is an unusual feature that's about 100 miles (160 km) wide and 13,000 feet (4 km) high. It displays a summit depression (dark hole in the center of ...

(CNN) -- While Earth’s volcanoes are spewing lava, scientists say Pluto had much cooler volcanic eruptions. A new study reveals the dwarf planet has giant ice volcanoes that were active as recently as ...

Out in the farther reaches of our Solar System, there sits the icy dwarf planet, Pluto. Seemingly forsaken, it is not alone — as in myth, so in life, Pluto is accompanied by Charon, named after the ...
