"Effortless Floating in Pluto's Hidden Ocean"

A recent study suggests that Pluto may have a subsurface ocean beneath its frozen surface, potentially deeper and denser than Earth's seawater. Clues from the New Horizons mission, such as the lack of an equatorial bulge and surface fractures, hint at this possibility. Researchers modeled the ocean's characteristics, estimating it to be 25-50 miles thick and 8% denser than Earth's seawater. However, the idea remains controversial, and more data is needed to confirm the existence of this ocean.
