When NASA's New Horizons missions took photos of Pluto in 2015, scientists discovered that, contrary to earlier thinking, Pluto has physical features in its landscape that is not just a barren, flat, frozen wasteland.
On the contrary, the dwarf planet boasts a huge cardiac structure called the Tombo Regio (after the astronomer Clyde Tombo who discovered Pluto in 1930). Now research has shown that it is precisely this region that controls Pluto's atmospheric changes.
Pluto's atmosphere is made up mostly of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and methane and is 100,000 times less Earth-friendly. During the day, the Tombo Regio is heated and turned into steam which again condenses overnight and thereby creates an atmospheric heartbeat that produces nitrogen winds and sends them through the surface.
These winds blow in the opposite direction of the planet's rotation in a phenomenon known as retro-rotation and help to form nitrogen-rich glaciers that then help enrich the planet's terrain.
