Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have taken a fresh look at the distant edges of our solar system — and found that, once again, Pluto is defying expectations.When NASA's New ...
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), operated by NASA, has uncovered intriguing new details about Charon—Pluto’s largest ...
Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered carbon dioxide and hydrogen peroxide at the surface of Pluto's largest moon, Charon, potentially shedding light on its origins.
Enter the James Webb Space Telescope. According to the 2017 study, if the haze behaved as predicted, Pluto should emit strong radiation in the mid-infrared spectrum.
The haze particles that dominate Pluto’s atmosphere—such as nitrogen, methane, and carbon monoxide—control the atmosphere’s energy balance as the particles are heated and cooled. This phenomenon, ...
The first observations of Pluto by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) reveal dramatic phenomena on its surface, like seasonal cycles of volatile ice redistribution across its surface, and ...
