We have really cool piece of conceptual art to share today. Pluto is a world of varied terrain; vast snow fields, broken badlands, and towering mountains. Even when bathed in the light of the distant sun, temperatures rarely top a -300 degrees Fahrenheit. This speculative painting depicts a conical mound where gas, warmed by tidal pressures caused by its moon, Charon, rises to the surface contributing to a thin atmosphere and haze that hugs the ground. Some gas condenses at its rim forming a bluish cap of ice and nitrogen snow.
