The bright nitrogen ice plain forming the left lobe of Pluto’s heart has not a single impact crater anywhere on it, which tells planetary scientists the surface is being churned from below and completely replaced on a cycle short enough that parts of that ground are younger than our own species
The bright plain on the image-left side of Pluto’s heart is Sputnik Planitia, a basin roughly 1,000 kilometres…
