JWST probes dwarf planets in Kuiper Belt

1

JWST

Astronomers have used NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to study three intriguing dwarf planets in the Kuiper Belt: Sedna, Gonggong, and Quaoar.

2

Kuiper belt

The Kuiper belt is a donut-shaped region of icy bodies extending beyond the orbit of Neptune. It is home to Pluto and the most known dwarf planets.

3

Significance

JWST has been instrumental in examining celestial bodies and exoplanets. The latest findings provide insights into the Kuiper Belt and into the solar system.

4

Findings

The study revealed light hydrocarbons and complex organic molecules on the surfaces of these dwarf planets, which are believed to be the result of methane irradiation.

5

Theory

Researchers believe that methane is processed inside these objects and regularly resupplied to their surfaces, supporting studies on other Kuiper Belt Objects.
