James Webb Telescope Uncovers Unique Climate and Cooling Phenomena on Pluto
TL;DR Summary
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has discovered a unique, multi-layered blue haze on Pluto that influences its climate, making it a new kind of climate in our solar system. This haze, composed of complex organic molecules, absorbs sunlight and cools the atmosphere, explaining Pluto's unexpectedly low temperatures. The findings could have implications for understanding other hazy celestial bodies and Earth's early climate.
