Inspired by photos of the icy Elcano Montes taken by the New Horizons spacecraft,
this view imagines a mountain range at another location on Pluto where - unlike
the Elcano Montes - Charon would be visible in
the sky.
On Pluto, methane frost does not fall as snow, it
condenses
on
only the
highest peaks. Made of rock-hard water ice, the Plutonian rocks and mountains are colored reddish brown by hydrocarbon
particles drifting down
from the thin,
hazy blue atmosphere.
