A recent study published in Nature Astronomy has confirmed a groundbreaking hypothesis about Pluto’s atmospheric conditions, ...

Simultaneously cooling Pluto while energizing atmospheric molecules to allow them to escape into space, Pluto's haze plays a ...

JWST finally detects radiation from Pluto that conclusively determines that Pluto's haze indeed impacts its climate.

Zhang published a paper in 2017 that hypothesized that Pluto's atmosphere was dominated by haze particles, which would've made it completely different from other atmospheres in the solar system.

JWST confirms Pluto’s haze cools its mesosphere and drives methane escape, coating Charon’s poles red. The haze absorbs UV light, heats the upper atmosphere, and re-radiates heat as infrared.

Zhang also realized that the haze could have a cooling effect on Pluto's atmosphere — an effect that had previously been detected in Pluto's mesosphere, which is the third layer of the ...

Observational evidence of a major organic ice component directly condensing within Pluto’s haze suggests that photochemical reactions are integral to sustaining its thermal balance, with direct ...

Usually when we see a project using a software-defined radio (SDR), the SDR’s inputs and outputs are connected to antennae, but [FromConceptToCircuit]’s project connected an ADALM-Pluto SDR to ...
