How Pluto Captured Its Moon Charon: The Kiss and Capture Theory | WION Podcast

Pluto’s moon, Charon, has an intriguing origin story known as the "Kiss and Capture Theory." This theory suggests that Charon was initially an independent object in the Kuiper Belt. During its close encounter with Pluto, their mutual gravitational pull caused a collision. Instead of breaking apart, the two celestial bodies locked into a stable orbit. This event led to the unique relationship between Pluto and Charon, where the moon is unusually large compared to its parent planet. This discovery offers valuable insights into the formation of celestial bodies in the outer solar system.
