 Enter the Lyman-Alpha glow. 

Basically this is telling us that tholins can be generated by cold.

On Pluto's Binary-Partner Charon (I will die on the hill that Charon is no moon,) there are far more tholins than on Pluto itself. Why? Something amazing is on the table. Apparently it may be possible to make methane cold enough that its hydrogen's emit a photon.

Let that sink in for a second. An energy source, albeit a minute one, appears far from any star.
