Pluto's atmosphere is collapsing. The dwarf planet is moving away from the sun, causing its atmosphere to shrink and thin.
This process is expected to continue as Pluto drifts farther into the cold depths of the solar system. However, the rate and extent of this collapse are not yet fully understood.
Scientists are monitoring the changes, but the complexity of Pluto's atmospheric dynamics means that predictions remain uncertain.
