Instead of trapping heat in, and thereby warming the surface, this kind of has the opposite effect. |
It's the first time it's actually shown the difference. |
Pluto is a dynamic example of what we might call an anti-greenhouse effect. |
These results are really exciting and fun as well. Imagine taking something's temperature from almost three billion miles away without making a house call! |
We all know about Venus and its runaway greenhouse effect. Pluto is a dynamic example of what we might call an anti-greenhouse effect. Nature likes to leave us with mysteries - and this was a big one. |
We?re breaking new ground, laying the foundation for work that will happen in the future. |
We're the first to have the combination of resolution and sensitivity to be able to do this experiment. |
