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

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have peered into a mysterious, blue haze cloaking the surface of Pluto — and ...

JWST finally detects radiation from Pluto that conclusively determines that Pluto's haze indeed impacts its climate.

In the study titled, Evidence of haze control of Pluto's atmospheric heat balance from JWST/MIRI thermal light curves, astronomers revealed that they detected and measured the thermal emission of ...

The findings, reported in a ... is due to Charon and what part is due to Pluto's haze," Bertrand told Live Science. Enter the James Webb Space Telescope. According to the 2017 study, if the ...

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

Pluto might be small and distant ... but the presence of a constant haze. This haze is made up of tiny particles, and if the data from James Webb is correct, it does more than just drift around ...

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.

Simultaneously cooling Pluto while energizing atmospheric molecules to allow them to escape into space, Pluto's haze plays a ...

The first observations of Pluto by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) reveal dramatic phenomena on its surface, like ...
