Pluto's atmosphere
Quote:
New Horizons has discovered a region of cold, dense ionized gas tens of thousands of miles beyond Pluto -- the planet’s atmosphere being stripped away by the solar wind and lost to space. Beginning an hour and half after closest approach, the Solar Wind Around Pluto (SWAP) instrument observed a cavity in the solar wind -- the outflow of electrically charged particles from the Sun -- between 48,000 miles (77,000 km) and 68,000 miles (109,000 km) downstream of Pluto. SWAP data revealed this cavity to be populated with nitrogen ions forming a “plasma tail” of undetermined structure and length extending behind the planet.

Most scientists believe that Pluto and the rest of the solar system are billions of years old but if Pluto was really that old wouldn't all of its atmosphere be gone by now? On the other hand the fact that it still has an atmosphere is consistent with the belief that it was created only a few thousand years ago.

Your question means that you should question how you view things because this planet has already challanged you.
