Article Synopsis
  • - Charon, Pluto's largest moon, has been studied for its composition and changes caused by radiation, but previous spectral data only covered wavelengths below 2.5 μm, leaving some questions unanswered.
  • - Recent observations using JWST have detected carbon dioxide (CO) and hydrogen peroxide (HO) on Charon's northern hemisphere, adding to its known chemical components like water ice and ammonia.
  • - The presence of HO suggests active processes affecting the water ice surface, while spectral analysis indicates that CO is mainly found in crystalline form, likely originating from subsurface sources and other processes involving hydrocarbons and solar interactions.
