A new study reveals that tiny fragments of Earth's atmosphere are transported to and absorbed by the moon via gusts of solar ...

The moon's surface may be more than just a dusty, barren landscape. Over billions of years, tiny particles from Earth's atmosphere have landed in the lunar soil, creating a possible source of ...

Researchers have created a dataset of the whole atmosphere, enabling new research to be conducted on previously difficult-to-study regions. Using a new data-assimilation system called JAGUAR-DAS, ...

thermal characteristics (temperature changes), chemical composition, movement, and density. Each of the layers are bounded by "pauses" where the greatest changes in thermal characteristics, chemical ...

"One plus one is more than two — having two data points for TRAPPIST-1b now allows us to explore alternative scenarios for its atmosphere, whether it exists or not." When you purchase through links on ...

"We reported hints of methane, but the question is, 'is the methane attributable to molecules in the atmosphere of the planet or in the host star?'" When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

The new data confirm that TOI-561 b maintains a substantial atmosphere despite its extreme heat. Astronomers from the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, D.C., reported that TOI-561 b has ...

A rocky, Earth-size planet located in our Milky Way galaxy may have an atmosphere around it, according to new research, raising the possibility that it could also have liquid water on its surface and ...

For the first time, scientists have measured a long-sought global electric field in the Earth’s atmosphere. This field, called the ambipolar electric field, was predicted to exist decades ago but ...

Using primitive meteorites called chondrites as their models, earth and planetary scientists at Washington University in St. Louis have performed outgassing calculations and shown that the early Earth ...
