Researchers have discovered new signs that Pluto could remain geologically alive, based on a review of photos taken by NASA’s New Horizons probe during its 2015 mission. Experts think that liquid nitrogen occasionally pushes up through fissures in Sputnik Planitia—the massive heart-shaped glacier on the planet—which leaves behind dark marks on the terrain. These observations point to recent surface shifts and continuous geological processes.
