# NASA finds liquid nitrogen flowing on Pluto’s surface 2026-08-16T14:22:45+00:00 | Health & Science | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet NASA's New Horizons data suggests liquid nitrogen recently flowed onto Pluto's surface through cracks in a region called Sputnik Planitia. The finding, reported by ndtvprofit.com, indicates the dwarf planet remains geologically active, with processes reshaping its frozen landscape over time. Scientists analysed images and other data from the 2015 flyby to detect evidence of cryovolcanic activity. The liquid nitrogen appears to have risen from Pluto's interior, hinting at a hidden ocean or heat source beneath the icy crust. ## Coverage - ndtvprofit.com This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
