"Potential Warm Oceans on Dwarf Planets at Solar System's Edge"

Scientists have discovered evidence suggesting that dwarf planets Eris and Makemake, located in the Kuiper Belt, may have warm oceans beneath their frozen surfaces. Data from the James Webb Space Telescope revealed isotope ratios in methane on their surfaces consistent with internal heating, indicating the presence of potential subsurface oceans. These findings challenge previous assumptions about the dynamics of the outer Solar System and suggest that conditions for microbial marine life might exist in the Kuiper Belt, making it more dynamic and potentially hospitable than previously thought.
