The idea became even more appealing after Voyager 2’s Neptune flyby, when scientists got their first good look at the icy moon Triton, thought to be a close cousin of Pluto.

JWST has confirmed Pluto’s bizarre atmospheric behavior and its ghostly interaction with Charon. These findings could reshape our understanding of distant icy worlds—and even hint at how Earth once ...

In the outer reaches of our solar system, far beyond the orbit of Pluto, lies Sedna, one of the most mysterious objects ever ...

The Pluto flyby in 2015 revealed a world with surprising landscapes, marked by complex topography—basins, mountains, and valleys—ongoing geological activity like nitrogen (N₂) and methane (CH₄) ...

A recent study warns that passing stars could disrupt Earth's orbit, potentially causing it to collide with other planets or be ejected from the solar system.

Hazy conditions. The Pluto flyby in 2015 revealed a world with surprising landscapes, marked by complex topography—basins, mountains, and valleys—ongoing geological activity like nitrogen ...

The haze we see at Pluto in the New Horizons flyby images and data is an active experiment in nitrogen and methane photochemistry. In that regard, it's similar to the hazes we see at Titan.

Zhang’s prediction was developed from his analysis of data from NASA’s New Horizons flyby in 2015, which provided the most detailed information about Pluto available at the time. Zhang published his ...
