Webb Telescope detects activity within dwarf planets
They may be dwarf planets, but they're not dead planets.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has provided scientists with evidence of geothermal activity deep within two far-out dwarf planets, Eris and Makemake.

“We see some interesting signs of hot times in cool
