But scientists couldn\u2019t sense chemicals lurking at certain infrared wavelengths until the Webb telescope came around to fill in the gaps.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of fingerprints of chemicals that we otherwise wouldn\u2019t get to see,\u201d said Carly Howett, a New Horizons scientist who was not involved with the new study.<\/p>\n<p>The research published Tuesday in the journal Nature Communications.<\/p>\n<p>Pluto, a dwarf planet, and its moons are in the far fringes of our solar system in a zone known as the Kuiper Belt. Besides water ice, ammonia and organic materials were previously detected on Charon. Both Pluto and Charon are over 3 billion miles (4.83 billion kilometers) from the sun and are likely too chilly to support life.<\/p>\n<p>Scientists think the hydrogen peroxide may have sprung from radiation pinging off water molecules on Charon\u2019s surface. The carbon dioxide might spew to the surface after impacts, said study co-author Silvia Protopapa from the Southwest Research Institute.<\/p>\n<p>The latest detection is key to studying how Charon came to be and may help scientists tease out the makeup of other faraway moons and planets.<\/p>\n<h2>___<\/h2>\n<p>The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute\u2019s Science and Educational Media Group.
