Scientists have found carbon dioxide and hydrogen peroxide on the surface of Pluto 's largest moon, Charon .
The molecules could tell scientists how Charon and other icy bodies at the solar system's edge were born.
Charon is a midsized body roughly 750 miles ( 1,207 kilometers ) wide and located in the Kuiper Belt .
The JWST will continue to study Charon .
Scientists will use the resulting data to better understand icy TNOs as a whole.
The team's research was published on Tuesday ( Oct. 1 ) in the journal Nature Communications .
"Future observations targeting the spectral gaps, not covered in the current data, could lead to new Charon discoveries," scientists said.
