ECS My goodness man there is a change! Previously I thought you couldn't read within the context.
Now I know it.
You quoted on Jupiter
On to Triton.
Then again, these are general scientific publications.
They may be assuming you can find Uranus without too much help.

You quoted on Jupiter
Quote:It is about redistribution of temperature in an extant system.
The latest images could provide evidence that Jupiter is in the midst of a global change that can modify temperatures by as much as 10 degrees Fahrenheit on different parts of the globe.
On to Triton.
Quote:But you missed this part.
We're not the only ones experiencing global warming. An MIT researcher has reported that observations obtained by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and ground-based instruments reveal that Neptune's largest moon, Triton, seems to have heated up significantly since the Voyager space probe visited it in 1989. The warming trend is causing part of Triton's surface of frozen nitrogen to turn into gas, thus making its thin atmosphere denser.
Quote:And then Pluto!
The moon is approaching an extreme southern summer, a season that occurs every few hundred years. During this special time, the moon's southern hemisphere receives more direct sunlight. The equivalent on Earth would be having the sun directly overhead at noon north of Lake Superior during a northern summer.
Quote:You missed this line. Which would be tough as it is right under the line you quoted.
In what is largely a reversal of an August announcement, astronomers today said Pluto is undergoing global warming in its thin atmosphere even as it moves farther from the Sun on its long, odd-shaped orbit.
Quote:Now in your defense, the use of the phrase global warming may be perceived as a red herring if the usage is confused with man made global warming.
The change is likely a seasonal event, much as seasons on Earth change as the hemispheres alter their inclination to the Sun during the planet's annual orbit.
