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

Simultaneously cooling Pluto while energizing atmospheric molecules to allow them to escape into space, Pluto's haze plays a key role in the planet's energy balance.

If this turns out to be correct, the cooling effect on Pluto might have applications ... According to a new study published in Nature today, “Haze heats Pluto’s atmosphere yet explains its ...

A new study proposes a novel cooling mechanism controlled by haze particles ... in images of Pluto's surface," Zhang said. The researchers are interested in studying the effects of haze particles ...

But at -203°C, the observed temperature of Pluto ... theories.” Haze particles also absorb solar energy to heat the atmosphere, but their cooling is stronger, so the net effect is cooling ...

Modeling the heat transfer through Pluto's atmosphere, Zhang and his colleagues found that the net effect is cooling; the haze absorbs solar energy and radiates it into space, a bit like sweat ...

One of the more bizarre things they found was that the haze in Pluto’s atmosphere was much ... mimicking this phenomenon to alleviate the effects of climate change. But our planet isn’t ...

The cooling mechanism involves the absorption of heat by the haze particles ... in images of Pluto's surface," Zhang said. The researchers are interested in studying the effects of haze particles ...

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 ...
