Sad SLS

  • Now, new observations using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) taken in 2022 and 2023, show that Pluto's atmosphere is completely different from any other one in the Solar System.

    For one thing, it contains haze particles that rise and fall as they are heated and cooled.

    Pluto's atmosphere is a complicated haze of nitrogen, methane, and carbon monoxide. Based on the JWST data, the haze particles control the energy balance of the atmosphere as they heat up and cool off. That's very unusual and hasn't been seen in other solar system worlds.

  • Alan Turing. Brilliant mind, one of the fathers of modern computing, helped crack nazi codes during WWII. Was then prosecuted for homosexual acts, subjected to chemical castration, and died in a manner consistent with suicide :(

  • While astronomers have found evidence for other more complex molecules in planet-forming disks around other stars, this latest discovery is the first time that rare isotopes of methanol have been detected.

    The phys org article doesn't specify which isotopes.

    Edit: It's carbon 13 and deuterium:

    In addition to CH3OH, we detect 13CH3OH for the first time in a Class II disk, revealing a factor of three enhancement of 13C in the disk large organics. A tentative detection of CH2DOH is also reported, resulting in a D/H of 1%–2%, which is consistent with the expected deuterium enhancement from the low-temperature CH3OH formation in molecular clouds and with the deuteration of CH3OH measured in comets.
