The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has made a groundbreaking discovery on Pluto’s largest moon, Charon, detecting carbon dioxide and hydrogen peroxide on its frozen surface. These findings offer new insights into Charon’s composition and provide a window into how icy bodies at the edge of the solar system have evolved over billions of years. Uncovering Carbon Dioxide and Hydrogen Peroxide on CharonCharon, discovered in 1978, orbits in the distant Kuiper Belt and has been studied extensively over the decades. While earlier missions, such as NASA’s New Horizons, revealed that Charon’s surface…
