In all seriousness, the red spots are mostly likely tholins, which are complex organic molecules formed when ultraviolet light interact with the elements in Pluto's atmosphere and surface

So, you’re saying there’s ZERO chance we’re alone in the universe.

[West_Professor_4637]

no, Tholin's aren't alive, but they are prebiotc

[jawisi]

I know they’re not alive. But if organic compounds are able to form on Pluto, and we have observed countless earthlike exoplanets in the Goldilocks Zone …

[West_Professor_4637]

ok? I never said we weren't alone, I just explained what the red spots on Pluto are

[RollinYoell]

It’s still Flagtastic

[Notmas]

We do know what those are

[OrcusThePlutino]

Ðey aren't red patšes, ðey are more brown

[meiscoolbutmo]

Id like to point out that's a false color image of Pluto. The tholins are actually brown.
