Pluto and Triton (the largest moon of Neptune) are the icy twins of the outer solar system who were born in the same region but grew up in very different circumstances. The book, in part, will evaluate our current knowledge on Triton with modern models informed by recent Pluto results. While providing a comprehensive review on both Pluto and Triton, the book will also enable the reader to see the big picture in how these planetary bodies are connected. This book will explore the similarities and differences of Pluto and Triton through comparative planetology; an emerging tool in planetary science that allows great advances by comparing and contrasting similar bodies in the solar system and beyond. The topics that will be covered will involve all aspects of understanding Pluto and Triton and their relevance to the bigger picture of planetary system formation and evolution, with implications that go beyond our solar system.

Key Features:

  • First book to compare and contrast Pluto and Triton
  • Includes results from the New Horizons flyby of Pluto was one of the most exciting and scientifically impactful events in modern planetary exploration
  • Triton is the top priority potential ocean world in the NASA Roadmap for Ocean Worlds program
  • Written by leading experts in the field
  • Will have implications for exploration of other dwarf planets
