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.

In our nearby stellar neighborhood, a burned-out star is snacking on a fragment of a Pluto-like object. With its unique ultraviolet capability, only NASA's Hubble Space Telescope could identify that ...

Today, I must share a big news from the field of astronomy! The Webb Telescope has recently made a significant discovery by ...

Astronomers have uncovered the chemical fingerprint of a frozen, water-rich planetary fragment being consumed by a white ...

Methane gas may signal an atmosphere or geological activity on a distant dwarf planet located at the outer edge of the Solar System. A research team led by the Southwest Research Institute has ...

Astronomers have detected the chemical fingerprint of a frozen, water-rich planetary fragment being devoured by a white dwarf ...

Webb uncovers methane on Makemake, showing the icy dwarf planet is more active than once thought - just like Pluto.

This cosmic drama offers a unique glimpse into the future fate of our own Solar system and highlights the power of Hubble's ultraviolet vision to probe stellar remains that would otherwise go ...

Astronomers have discovered methane gas on the distant dwarf planet Makemake using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) for the first time. This finding overturns the previous belief that Makemake is ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have peered into a mysterious blue haze cloaking the surface of Pluto — and discovered that it's controlling the dwarf planet's climate and atmosphere.

Pluto might be small and distant, but it keeps surprising scientists. After the New Horizons spacecraft zipped past it in 2015, we got our first real look at its icy landscape and unexpectedly active ...
