James Webb Telescope Observes Mysterious Chemical Signal on Pluto and Titan

The James Webb Space Telescope has detected an identical, unexplained absorption signal on the surfaces of both Pluto and Titan. These frozen worlds are known for their methane-and-nitrogen rich compositions. Scientists have been unable to match this repeatable spectral feature to any known molecule in laboratory settings, suggesting the presence of previously unconfirmed chemical processes in the outer solar system.
