Ice volcano on Charon, artwork
Ice volcano erupting on Charon, artwork. Charon is the largest moon of the dwarf planet Pluto (red, centre right). Pluto and Charon are icy bodies that orbit within the Kuiper Belt on the edge of the Solar System, some 6 billion kilometres from the Sun (top right). Pluto is around 2300 kilometres across, and Charon about half that size. Ice volcanoes (also known as ice geysers), are found on icy bodies in the outer Solar System. They are eruptions of liquid and gas caused by the heating and melting of ices of nitrogen and methane

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases an ice volcano erupting on Charon, the largest moon of the dwarf planet Pluto. As we delve into the outer reaches of our Solar System, this mesmerizing image takes us 6 billion kilometers away from the Sun and immerses us in a frozen world within the Kuiper Belt. Pluto and Charon, both icy bodies, come to life in this illustration as they reveal their unique geological features. The immense size difference between them is apparent, with Pluto spanning approximately 2300 kilometers across while Charon measures about half that size. Ice volcanoes, also known as ice geysers, are phenomena found exclusively on frigid celestial bodies like those within the outer Solar System. This breathtaking eruption occurs due to intense heating and melting of nitrogen and methane ices beneath Charon's surface. The explosive display captured here reminds us of the dynamic nature hidden amidst these distant worlds. Debris scatters through space as liquid and gas burst forth into its vacuum surroundings. It serves as a testament to the incredible forces at play even in such remote corners of our cosmic neighborhood. As we gaze upon this stunning piece of planetary artistry by Science Photo Library, it sparks curiosity about what other wonders lie undiscovered beyond our familiar terrestrial realm.
