@NickSzabo4 Not enough "pull" from Pluto's 5 moons for strong tides?
Pluto discovery: no craters => active => heat. But sun too distant & tides too weak => still large radioactivity.pic.twitter.com/V7gQn7nkvB

@xbtbtc Substantial tidal heating comes only from vastly larger gas giant planets.

@NickSzabo4 Didn't expect it to be geologically active. Are radioactive elements the only explanation for heat? -
@haydentiff Yes, there's no other known source of energy out there. -
@NickSzabo4 Interesting. Thanks!
