re: Maybe...

Pluto is a very dormant comet now.

Pluto may be a cousin of Neptune's moon Triton and possibly, Uranus' Titania and Ariel to name a few. From images of Pluto taken by Hubble, they share the same coloring and composition (mostly ice/Nitrogen) and even 'volcanic' activity.

The Voyagers couldn't catch Pluto, but they did very well.
