"Geothermal Activity Uncovered in Icy Dwarf Planets of the Solar System"
Scientists have found evidence of hydrothermal or metamorphic activity within the icy dwarf planets Eris and Makemake, located in the Kuiper Belt. This discovery, made using data from the James Webb Space Telescope, suggests that these distant worlds may have warm or even hot geochemistry in their rocky cores, potentially leading to the presence of liquid water beneath their icy surfaces. The findings challenge previous assumptions about the nature of icy bodies in the outer solar system and open up new possibilities for studying potential habitability in these distant worlds.
