thanks for the correction. The corrected translation would be: SwRI scientists used data from the James Webb Space Telescope to model the geothermal processes in the subsurface that may explain how methane reached the surface of Eris and Maki Maki, two dwarf planets in the distant Kuiper Belt. The figure suggests three possibilities, including the likelihood that liquid water exists within these icy bodies at the edge of the solar system, far from the sun's heat.
