When a human is in their teens they often develop acne, this is simply an aspect of a child transitioning into an adult. Nix has a very small acne problem which speaks to it's age as well as its growth. Below is Nix. It is the second closest moon to the Pluto/Charon barycenter and orbits every 24.9 days. Its about 26 miles in size obviously it's not a sphere. |
Nix is in an almost 3:2 resonance relationship with Hydra (I know, "almost" only counts with horseshoes and hand grenades and that holds true with resonance, almost isn't good enough).
Nix has multiple impacts (I've counted about 30 there are more) the most interesting of which is the red tholin zit. Nix has an irregular and erratic spin. It's more like a tumble or wobble than a spin. This either suggests it is young or Pluto/Charon are creating a pulsating gravitational wave that constantly perturbs Nix in its orbit. |

When this image was first published scientists were excited and saying things like "Nix is red unlike Hydra, what could this be, is it possible this is an impact, I can't wait to get more data on this." then a deadening silence fell over the scientific community about this red object.
Either everyone simply lost interest or are afraid to commit to the obvious. It's an impact!!! What's so difficult to accept about that fact. it has a crater directly in the center where the tholin covered object hit. The impactor cut out some of the surface material leaving behind three really bright white gouges and just like Mordor there is an ejecta blanket. Seems odd to me that we see ejecta blankets and craters on Nix and at Mordor but main stream science claims they aren't impact sites but we don't see any ejecta at Sputnik Planitia but it is considered an impact site. |
Go ahead, call me an impact conspiracy theorist "cause if my eyes don't deceive me, there's something going wrong around here".
Since I don't want to be considered a conspiracy nut let me do my best to break this down logically. Where's the ONE place we see dark red gooey tholin being produced in this binary planetary/moon system? |

Hydra’s deep water bands and high reflectance imply relatively little contamination by darker material that has accumulated on Charon's surface over the past 4 billion years.
Hydra is in a high orbital plane while Nix is in a low orbital plane. Hydra's wavelength pattern is similar to Charon as well as it's reflectance aka albedo. I've already explained my reasons for saying Mordor is an impact site which caused the internal pressure's from tidal flexing to blast chunks off Charon launching them into high orbit also hitting Pluto sending multiple P waves through the planet blasting off chunks at SP creating the deep pits in turn launching them with less kinetic energy into a low orbit. But the zit expands Nix's story. |
It says that the gas giants were closer to the Sun when they formed. Neptune was closer than Uranus but then a 2:1 resonance between Jupiter and Saturn kicked Neptune into a higher orbit. This created the late heavy bombardment after about 0.7-0.8 billion years causing bodies to start flying. Then Neptune spent time migrating outward kicking planetesimals all over the place but mostly inward towards the Sun.
At 0.89 billion years Neptune crosses Uranus' orbit, at this point condition are set up where Neptune can begin to coral bodies into the 2:3 resonance zone which is where Plutino's currently reside. |

Let me turn this question around, how did Nix get that zit 4Gyr ago. Pluto didn't have time to grow to its current size because objects further out from the Sun are separated further from each other and it didn't have time to develop tholin. How do you get a tiny tholin covered object orbiting Pluto/Charon along with other fully developed ("accreted") from a theoretical impact scenario creating moons, and all this was supposed to have occurred in the first 500 million years then sit idle just waiting around with nothing else happening for 4 billion years.

A clear implication is that either the moons are significantly younger than the planet, or that their tidal evolution must be extremely slow (Q > 80, 000).
As an extremely slow-evolving system is incompatible with intense tidal heating of Enceladus, we conclude that the moons interior to Titan are not primordial, and we present a plausible scenario for the system’s recent formation. We propose that the mid-sized moons re-accreted from a disk about 100 Myr ago, during which time Titan acquired its significant orbital eccentricity. |
The zit (required a second tholin covered object),
The different albedo's (not similar = not accreted), Nix's similarity to Pluto ice (not from Charon). Hydra's similarity to Charon's ice (not from Pluto). The compositions (different not from accretion disk), The time frame (Neptune took 1 Gyr to get in orbit), Erratic axial spins (possible recent ejection, maybe not), The orbital distance (Nix close, Hydra far), |
