"Surprising Discoveries: Geothermal Activity and Warm Hearts in Icy Dwarf Planets"

TL;DR Summary
The James Webb Space Telescope has detected unexpected activity in the Kuiper Belt, a region beyond the planets in our solar system. Recent findings suggest that icy objects in this area, such as Eris and Makemake, may have hot interiors capable of sustaining oceans and potentially even harboring conditions suitable for life. The telescope's powerful abilities, including its giant mirror and infrared view, allow it to peer into the deepest cosmos and reveal new insights about the early universe, as well as study planets and moons in our solar system.
