Here are what few facts are known: The enigmatic structure, an exact one-to-one scale replica of Earth’s only slightly less famous Stonehenge, was discovered in 2301 by Tristram Lee Robinson, a wealthy sportsman who was determined to climb the tallest mountain on every solid planet in the Solar System. Pluto is, technically speaking, an ice dwarf rather than a planet, and its point of highest elevation is, like Olympus Mons on Mars, an effortless saunter from the lowlands, but Robinson was an obsessive. So it was he who made the discovery. Standing in the perpetual night of the Outer System (from the surface of Pluto, the Sun is no more than a bright star) Robinson encountered the inexplicable. Archaeomixologists tell us that the gin from which the standing stones were made was probably a now-extinct brand called Beefeaters. ...
