JWST finally detects radiation from Pluto that conclusively determines that Pluto's haze indeed impacts its climate.
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST ... 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 ...
A recent study published in Nature Astronomy has confirmed a groundbreaking hypothesis about Pluto’s atmospheric conditions, ...
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 James Webb Space Telescope data reveal Pluto's high-altitude haze is a key driver of the climate on the dwarf planet, ...
New data captured by the James Webb Space Telescope has finally given astronomers new clues about how Pluto cools itself.
Thanks to the powerful vision of NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), scientists have just confirmed something truly ...
