According to astronomers, the thin mist is further proof that in the atmosphere of Pluto’s something going on. The processes may be similar to the natural water cycle on Earth.

Probably it comes to some exotic form of ice. Fog on Pluto has several layers; the thickness of the atmosphere goes back more than a hundred kilometers.
