JWST finally detects radiation from Pluto that conclusively determines that Pluto's haze indeed impacts its climate.
The first observations of Pluto by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) reveal dramatic phenomena on its surface, like ...
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has discovered that a hazy sky over frozen Pluto is helping to cool the dwarf planet's ...
JWST confirms Pluto’s haze cools its mesosphere and drives methane escape, coating Charon’s poles red. The haze absorbs UV light, heats the upper atmosphere, and re-radiates heat as infrared.
James Webb Space Telescope observations suggest Pluto’s atmosphere is unlike any other in the solar system, confirming a 2017 ...
New data captured by the James Webb Space Telescope has finally given astronomers new clues about how Pluto cools itself.
On Earth, for example, we know that the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide has a central effect of ... of the James Webb Space Telescope, a new instrument that can measure Pluto’s infrared footprint ...
According to Zhang, the excess infrared radiation from haze particles in Pluto's atmosphere should be detectable by the James Webb Space Telescope ... in studying the effects of haze particles ...
the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) recently took a closer look at Pluto’s moon Charon, where it helped scientists to make a surprising discovery. Charon, the largest and most well-studied of ...
