Researchers at the European XFEL suspect effects on complex magnetic field. An international team of researchers led by Mungo Frost from the SLAC research center…
Researchers may have identified the missing component in the chemistry of the Venusian clouds that would explain their color and ‘splotchiness’ in the UV range,…
A recent study finds that atmospheric moisture in arid and semi-arid regions is not rising as predicted with global warming, posing new challenges for climate…
A new study reveals that “diamond rain” on icy planets like Neptune and Uranus forms under less extreme conditions than previously believed. This phenomenon influences…
Observations with JWST’s MIRI detect water vapor, sulfur dioxide, and sand clouds in the atmosphere of WASP-107b. A team of European astronomers, co-led by MPIA…
A massive study sharpens the outlook on greenhouse gases and climate. A massive new review of ancient atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and corresponding temperatures lays…
Stormy weather on display on a “hot Jupiter” The Jupiter-sized planet WASP-121 b is no place to call home. For starters, it orbits very close…
Carbon dioxide has not been as high as today’s concentrations in 14 million years thanks to fossil fuel emissions now warming the planet. Today atmospheric…
Scientists discover new way to identify liquid water on exoplanets. Atmospheric CO2 levels hold the key to finding habitable planets and potentially life itself. Scientists…
New research reveals that North Atlantic phytoplankton populations have been stable since the industrial era, contradicting previous studies of decline. To paraphrase Mark Twain, reports…
Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s research on magnesium oxide for carbon capture reveals a slowing absorption rate over time due to surface layer formation, posing challenges…
A team from UNIGE together with CNRS has managed to simulate the entire runaway greenhouse effect, which can make a planet completely unhabitable. The Earth…
What Is Earth’s Magnetosphere? Enveloping our planet and protecting us from the fury of the Sun is a giant bubble of magnetism called the magnetosphere….
Phenomena called “Steve” and “picket fence” are masquerading as auroras, graduate student argues. The shimmering green, red, and purple curtains of the northern and southern…
A groundbreaking study reveals that cool stars with strong magnetic fields produce powerful stellar winds, crucial information for assessing the habitability of exoplanetary systems. Employing…
