Description
‘On Pluto there is no movement, no sound, no life - nothing but absolute silence and solitude.‘
How mistaken was this image from 50 years ago! When the New Horizons spacecraft visited Pluto in 2015, this dwarf planet turned out to be unexpectedly active. It looks completely different from what we had expected, featuring a sea frozen to the bottom, floating islands, glacial flows, snow-capped peaks, extinct and perhaps even active volcanoes. This cold outpost of the solar system is even more Earth-like than Mars, a fact that this book explores.
