According to a new study, it has been claimed that Methane and nitrogen glaciers on Pluto expand and grow in response to temperature changes on the dwarf planet. When NASA's New Horizons probe flew by Pluto five years ago, it spotted glaciers made of solid methane and nitrogen on the icy dwarf planet's surface. In a new study scientists provide evidence that the grains of methane and nitrogen in the dwarf planet's grow as per the season.
