Scientists are starting to get a clearer picture of how Pluto\u2019s strange, hazy atmosphere works. Their latest discovery, concerning waves rippling through the dwarf planet’s atmosphere, means that Pluto shares some unexpected similarities with Earth.<\/p>\n

We have known about Pluto\u2019s beautiful layers of atmospheric haze<\/a> since New Horizons took a look at the back-lit dwarf planet just after its flyby in July.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As New Horizons flew past <\/span>Pluto<\/a>, it captured images of the haze layers as illuminated by the sun. The layers appear to be consistent in their structure \u2014 with the height of the layers remaining the same no matter when they’re observed \u2014 but the brightness of the layers varies \u201cdepending on illumination and viewpoint,\u201d <\/span>NASA said<\/a>.<\/span> Read more…<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
