Pluto's strange spin points to a subsurface sea and could be hiding an OCEAN

Daily Mail - Science & tech 

Pluto's icy heart may be hiding a subsurface ocean. Two new papers, based on observations from Nasa's New Horizons probe, claim that a frozen nitrogen pile-up in the dwarf planet's iconic heart-shaped region may have altered Pluto's tilt. This caused its spin to change which may have also created cracks and tensions in the crust of the dwarf planet that point towards the presence of a hidden sea, which scientists have previously said may host alien life. Two new papers, based on observations from Nasa's New Horizons probe, have proposed evidence of a frozen nitrogen pile-up throwing Pluto off its kilter. The cracks that have formed in the dwarf planet's surface as a result of this shift could point to a subsurface ocean, which scientists have previously said could host alien life In the first paper, researchers suggest a liquid ocean lying deep beneath Pluto's frozen surface is the best explanation for features revealed by the New Horizons probe.
