Wait just a darn minute! Are you telling me that Pluto is polluted and hazy even if there are no HUMANS there? How can that possibly BE?

That makes sense. It’s so called there that when plutonians breath it forms a haze.

Check this out. First, read this little passage from the article:

"THE DEMON WORLD: NAMES OF UNDERWORLD GODS PROPOSED FOR NEW FEATURES ON PLUTO

As New Horizons begins to send back the first images of the Pluto system, there is a growing, and rather dark, list of names for the features scientists expect to see in them. Named after the Roman god of the underworld itself, the mysterious reddish coloured planet could have a series of craters, canyons, plains and chasms named after dark gods and demons from different cultures. Among those proposed are Ammit, the Egyptian goddess who devoured the souls of the sinful; Supay, the Inca's ruler of the underworld and Erlik, the underworld god in Mongolian mythology. A number of fictional monsters, such as the Balrog from JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and Morgoth from the author's novel The Silmarillion have also been suggested. The names could transform the alien looking landscape of Pluto into a world filled with features that have emerged from the nightmares and deepest terrors of mankind. Among the proposed list of names names is Mephistopheles, the demon in German folklore who bartains for Faust's soul in Marlowe's Doctor Faustus. Peklenc, the god of the underworld in Slavic mythology and Xargi, the ruler of the underworld from Siberian mythology, are also among those put forward.

Now notice in the photo below, that one of those "demonic names" they've proposed is "Hillary Montes" - i.e. "Hillary Mountains!

LOL, how's THAT for a TRULY demonic name! Bwahahaha!

What is great to see is actual scientific observation that changes so much versus the guessing that has become science these days. This Pluto mission is an amazing accomplishment and will be fascinating to scientists for decades.
