For decades, Saturn has fascinated scientists with its rings, storms, and unusual north-pole hexagon. Now, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has uncovered something even stranger: dark bead-like ...
A new study challenges the idea that Hycean planets are ocean worlds. Chemical reactions between hydrogen-rich atmospheres and molten interiors may reduce surface water, making these sub-Neptunes less ...
Exoplanets, celestial bodies that orbit stars beyond the familiar confines of our solar system, continue to captivate scientists around the world. Their diverse and often unexpected attributes offer ...
A new NASA mission will capture images of Earth's invisible "halo," the faint light given off by our planet's outermost atmospheric layer, the exosphere, as it morphs and changes in response to the ...
ARCA's deep-sea sensors near Sicily detect a highly energetic neutrino, potentially revealing secrets about cosmic phenomena ...
Ice core records of atmospheric hydrogen reveal a huge rise in concentration since the Industrial Revolution which has ...
A study of Saturn's atmospheric structure using data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has revealed complex and mysterious features unseen before on any planet in our Solar System.
The polar vortex itself forms because of Mars’s tilted axis, which creates seasons much like Earth’s. Each northern winter, a ...
A rare glimpse into the wintry conditions of the Mars north polar vortex has shown that temperatures inside the vortex are ...
Found between about nine and 19 miles above Earth’s surface, the ozone layer is a broad region of the stratosphere where the ...
The booming space industry has filled the skies with rockets and satellites, but this rapid expansion comes with a hidden danger: slowing the recovery of the ozone layer. Rocket launches and burning ...
