And here is a cool video of some pics taken this year of the water and formations on the surface of Pluto.  Here is what astronomers had to say about this unusual phenomenon:

“The bedrock that makes those mountains must be made of H2O, water ice,” Stern said. “We see water ice on Pluto for the first time. We can be very sure that the water is there in great abundance.”

The surface of Pluto is covered in nitrogen ice, but “you can’t make mountains out of that stuff,” Stern said. “We are seeing the bedrock, or the bed ice. These mountains are made from frozen water.”

This has been quite a year for NASA and we’re looking forward to more analysis as it comes in.

We hope you enjoy the video!
