NASA Image Captures Perplexing Icy 'Spider' On Pluto

A recent image released by NASA shows that astronomers have found an icy "spider" on Pluto's surface.

According to Space.com, the icy "spider" is not really a spider, it is an unusual geological feature on Pluto's surface. NASA's report states that the icy "spider" is composed of six fractures that meet at a certain point, making it look like a spider. NASA also noted that the longest fracture, named Sleipnir Fossa, measures 580 kilometers while the shortest is at 100 kilometers.
