Using ESA’s XMM-Newton and NASA’s Chandra X-ray observatories, astronomers reveal that Jupiter’s intense northern and southern lights pulse independently of each other. The study, published…
Using data from NASA’s Chandra X-Ray Observatory, astronomers show that solar storms trigger Jupiter’s intense ‘Northern Lights’ by generating a new X-ray aurora that is…
New measurements from ESA’s CryoSat Satellite show that the volume of Arctic sea ice increased following the unusually cool summer of 2013, suggesting that ice…
New research reveals that Titan’s atmosphere is even more Earth-like than previously thought and provides evidence for why Titan’s atmosphere is losing about seven tonnes…
New research led by the University College London shows that a third of oil reserves, half of gas reserves and over 80% of current coal…
Researchers from University College London and the University of New South Wales have developed a new model that focuses on methane to detect life on…
