Pluto and its moon Charon are shown to correct relative scale (but they are much farther apart than is apparent here). Pluto appears to be a kind of giant comet. It's surface may be covered with reddish organic compounds emitted by low-pressure geysers. Charon, however, may be an inert ball of ice.
