Summary:
- NASA's New Horizons mission provided data suggesting that liquid nitrogen may be erupting onto Pluto's surface through fractures in its icy crust.
- Researchers propose that this cryovolcanic activity is driven by the internal heat of the dwarf planet, challenging previous assumptions about Pluto's geological inactivity.
- The findings offer significant insights into the complex geological history and internal thermal evolution of Kuiper Belt objects.
