What's eating at Pluto?

Far in the western hemisphere, scientists on NASA's New Horizons mission have discovered what looks like a giant "Bite mark" on Pluto's surface.

The methane ice-rich surface on Pluto may be sublimating away into the atmosphere, exposing a layer of water-ice underneath, they report. Ref. Source 9q.

Pluto's polygons may have been formed by convection

On Pluto, icebergs floating in a sea of nitrogen ice are key to a possible explanation of the quilted appearance of the Sputnik Planum region of the dwarf planet's surface. Researchers have proposed that the polygons seen in the images could be individual Rayleigh--Bénard convection cells. Ref. Source 5y.
