do the bump

We speculated a while back that perhaps Pluto and its minions might have collided. Have a look:

While the distance between these objects is not to scale, apparently the size is. Both have a scar. About the same size. Pluto is missing a spot of reddish tholin paint. Charon has a smear of tholins around its scar.

Thoughts?
