Pluto Hit in Drive By Whacking

Wow, the past few days has been busy for space news.

Pluto might have been hit long ago by a virtual twin in a collision that created the ninth planet’s moon Charon, according to a new computer simulation.

This is actually quite interesting. When I was a young teenager, I thought maybe this could have happened, because Charon is too big to have been a captured planetoid. Now, all we need to do is build a military weapons testing facility there.
