Pluto may have a frozen ocean beneath its surface.

Under Pluto's surface may be a frozen ocean. Evidence was found in Sputnik Planitia, a huge basin on the planet of several miles of heart-shaped area, based on photographs taken by NASA's New Horizons spacecraft in 2015. The information is from Ansa Agency.

The news was reported in articles published by the scientific journal "Nature" of the US universities of Arizona and California. According to the publication, beneath the surface of Pluto may be an ocean made of ice and water in a slimy consistency.

According to research and studies from the images, this ocean may have helped shape and change the structure of the small planet, creating tension in its crust and some cracks in the surface. In addition, experts also said that the huge body of frozen water may have been responsible for the planet's reorientation and may have this role once again in the future. Sputnik Planitia would also have shifted over time as a result of variations in ice accumulation in its basin.

These changes also occurred in part by the tides generated by the moon Carante, the closest to Pluto.
