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 ...

Pluto's Blue Haze Not Just a Visual Spectacle But an Important Climatic Factor, Study Suggests The James Webb Space Telescope ...

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 ...

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

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 ...
