These studies were based on information that was received after last year’s expedition the device “New horizon”, which reached Pluto. It is the first spacecraft that came close to the farthest planet of the Solar system.

A little later they found a gravitational anomaly that can be explained in only one way, under the surface of Pluto is the ocean. Next, the researchers began exploring its depth and composition.

It turned out that the water layer is approximately 100 kilometres from the start impressed the specialists, but then became more “fun”. It turned out that the water located under the surface of the planet Pluto, has a similar composition to Dead sea on Earth.
