A small body in the Kuiper Belt, beyond Neptune, has exhibited an atmosphere. The last time astronomers found an atmosphere in a trans-Neptunian object was in 1988, when Pluto revealed its own. But it has only recently formed and won't last for more than 1,000 years.

A first since Pluto: Did a comet explosion create atmosphere on this object beyond Neptune?

Scientists have discovered a mysterious object far beyond Pluto, nearly 6 billion kilometres from the Sun, and it may even have an atmosphere. This exciting find at the edge of our solar system is giving researchers new clues about how distant worlds form and survive in extreme conditions. The discovery could reshape our understanding of the outer solar system and what lies beyond the known planetary boundaries.


Scientists Detect Distant Object With Atmosphere Beyond Pluto

A team of astronomers from Taiwan has uncovered compelling infrared evidence hinting at the existence of the long-hypothesised Planet 9, a massive, icy world lurking far beyond Pluto in the outermost reaches of our Solar System.

A new definition of what a planet is, has been proposed by planetary scientists to replace the one which already exists, and is seen as outdated and sun-centric by many experts.

Scientists plan to revisit definition of planet but Pluto still remains out of list

A new analysis has indicated that Pluto, the dwarf planet and Triton, Neptune's largest moon could be siblings and may have shared origin. According to scientists, both bodies may have emerged from the Kuiper Belt, a region of icy objects like Pluto that exist beyond Neptune.

In 1930 Pluto was long considered our Solar System's ninth planet but then in 2006 the international astronomical Union categorized it as a dwarf planet due to its tiny size. Watch in for more details!

Pluto: Should 'Pluto' be a planet again? The debate rages on

A streaming service in the U.S. has launched a movement to make Pluto a planet again, 18 years after it was reclassified as a dwarf planet.

Pluto: A fascinating icy world beyond planetary status

Arizona, situated in the southwestern United States, has officially designated Pluto as its "state planet," despite the International Astronomical Union's decision in 2006 to reclassify Pluto as a "dwarf planet," and removing its status as an official planet.

Mysteries abound and wonders never cease in the vast expanse of space. NASA has once again captivated the world with a mesmerising glimpse into the cosmos. This time, it wasn't just any celestial marvel but a striking portrait of planetary companionship - Pluto and its planetary bestie and moon, Charon.

Pluto used to be a planet in our solar system. It is still there where it was before, but it no longer has status of a planet. But this does not stop us from studying it of course.

Scientists have found another ice-volcano on Pluto

After the discovery of a planet oddly three billion kilometres away from Earth, a new research has now revealed another remote ringed planet has also been discovered in the solar system - the Dwarf planet. It is about 555 kilometres in diameter and almost half the size of Pluto.

European Space Agency scientists discover Dwarf planet ringed by dust, ice

Astronomers were left stunned after they spotted a Saturn-like ring of dust and debris around a dwarf planet called Quaoar. The dwarf planet Quaoar was named after a god of creation in Native American mythology.

Pluto may have been stripped of his status as a planet but the distant icy world, and its satellite Charon are surely objects of study. Pluto is more than 5 billion years away from Earth.

Mystery of 'red cap' on Pluto's moon finally solved

NASA published pictures of giant ice volcanoes on Pluto's surface, triggering speculation on the possibility of life on the dwarf planet. What does this discovery mean for life beyond Earth? Palki Sharma gets you a report.

Gravitas: Giant ice volcanoes spotted on Pluto

A group of dome-shaped ice volcanoes that appear unlike anything else known in our solar system and may still be active have been spotted on Pluto. This discovery was made using data from NASA's New Horizons mission, and it indicates that this remote frozen world is more dynamic than previously thought.
