No, but my physics tells me that any warming taking place decreases proportionately with the square of the distance, and when you're talking about Pluto, you're talking about a LOT of distance. As for what the sun looks like from there, I'm relying on science-based science fiction, and just common sense. solarviews.com An astronomical unit is 93 million miles, the distance from the Earth to the sun. en.wikipedia.org "Pluto can be as close to the sun as 30 AU and as far away as 50 AU" Do the math. Run this little thought experiment - Imagine you're near enough to a campfire to keep warm, but not get hot. Now imagine you're 30 to 50 times FURTHER away. Do you feel any heat from the campfire at all? Sorry! I know actual facts are vexing to you guys!
