Big impact flipped Pluto on its side

A big impact possibly caused Pluto to tilt over by 10 degrees, University of California Santa Cruz astronomers have said.

They said Pluto and its large moon Charon were bowled over when they were struck by awkward space rocks in the past, possibly billions of years ago.
