The first observations of Pluto by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) reveal dramatic phenomena on its surface, like ...
Simultaneously cooling Pluto while energizing atmospheric molecules to allow them to escape into space, Pluto's haze plays a ...
JWST finally detects radiation from Pluto that conclusively determines that Pluto's haze indeed impacts its climate.

Zhang also realized that the haze could have a cooling effect on Pluto's atmosphere — an effect that had previously been detected in Pluto's mesosphere, which is the third layer of the ...
A recent study published in Nature Astronomy has confirmed a groundbreaking hypothesis about Pluto’s atmospheric conditions, ...
Sure, adopting a few new trends isn't exactly reaching for the stars compared to making life-altering shifts, but it's still ...
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.
New data captured by the James Webb Space Telescope has finally given astronomers new clues about how Pluto cools itself.
A recent satellite photo captured a giant comma-shaped cloud of "Saharan dust" being blown above the Atlantic Ocean. The hazy ...
Elon Musk, under the username "Kekius Maximus," has joined William Shatner in advocating for Pluto's reclassification as a planet. Shatner playfully suggested Musk persuade the President via ...
