The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has discovered that a hazy sky over frozen Pluto is helping to cool the dwarf planet's atmosphere, while at the same time giving methane and other organic ...

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

A cooling mechanism controlled by haze particles could be responsible for keeping Pluto's atmosphere more frigid than scientists expected, a study says. The gas composition of a planet's ...

New research from the University of Arizona (U of A) claims that Pluto may not have been created with a bang, but with a kiss. The study, published in Nature Geoscience, looks at how Pluto and its ...

We can already see Pluto’s mechanisms at work as we await the names of the rich, famous and powerful involved in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ alleged web of abuse and brutality and the fallout from ...

Additionally, the collision process, including tidal friction as the bodies separated, deposited considerable internal heat into both bodies, which may provide a mechanism for Pluto to develop a ...

However, Stern also accused the IAU of harming science itself when it publicly voted to relegate Pluto in 2006. “Voting is a terrible mechanism of doing science,” he said. “We don’t vote ...

report simulations in which the proto-bodies are solids held together by material strength — and reveal a new potential formation mechanism for the Pluto–Charon system (C. A. Denton et al.

Recently, I’ve been testing the Pluto Pillow, which is custom-made to ... such as 100% cotton or a smooth cooling fabric. My pillow had a quilted temperature-regulating outer surface; I found ...

This novel formation mechanism involves the proto-Charon colliding with Pluto without major changes, becoming stuck together in a snowman shape for a while before rotational forces pull them apart.

"This comparison of Titan, Pluto and Triton illuminates the important differences in the mechanisms of haze formation in planetary atmospheres," Lavvas said. The scientists detailed their findings ...

A recent study published in Nature Astronomy has confirmed a groundbreaking hypothesis about Pluto’s atmospheric conditions, long considered a ‘crazy idea.’ The study, which was inspired by data from ...
