from Kainaati Gup Shup with Salman Hameed · host Salman Hameed

The outer Solar System is home to some of the coldest, darkest, and most mysterious objects we know. 🪐❄️Now, astronomers have discovered something remarkable: a small distant world appears to have an atmosphere, despite its tiny size and extreme location at the edge of our Solar System. 😲But the discovery itself is even more incredible. Instead of taking a direct image, scientists detected this faint atmosphere using the light of a background star as the object passed in front of it. 🌟This powerful technique, known as occultation, allows astronomers to reveal details that would otherwise remain completely invisible.00:00 MiniPluto or 2000 XV93 Discovery01:42 Detection of Atmosphere on the Object?05:31 How does an atmosphere exists on it?
