The image was captured by the space agency’s New Horizons probe, first launched in 2006 as part of the New Frontiers programme. On July 14, 2015, it flew just 7,800 miles above the surface of Pluto, making it the first spacecraft to explore the dwarf planet, sending back scores of snaps. The Discovery Channel’s “NASA’s Unexplained Files” revealed how they sent the scientific community into a frenzy.

That's what one guy says, and you can see what he's talking about on the link. It is sort of snail-shaped. It would have to be huge, though!

Shades of Frank Herbert's Dune series of novels...

Except here we have giant snails instead of giant spice worms..

I wonder what they feed on ?
