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.

New James Webb Space Telescope data reveal Pluto's high-altitude haze is a key driver of the climate on the dwarf planet, ...

The discovery of the haze-temperature connection on Pluto demonstrates, for the first time, that there are actual cases out there where this type of effect can serve to reduce the worldwide ...

New data captured by the James Webb Space Telescope has finally given astronomers new clues about how Pluto cools itself.

"We believe these hydrocarbon particles are related to the reddish and brownish stuff seen in images of Pluto's surface," Zhang said. The researchers are interested in studying the effects of haze ...

and it comes down to the previously unappreciated shielding effects of tiny sooty particles that create a haze. Previously, all calculations to explain Pluto’s chilly air have focused solely on ...
