Earth's atmosphere is 10% less dusty, UCLA study says, and that may be adding to warming
Atmospheric dust increased through much of the 20th century before reaching a peak in the 1980s.
A cross section of the upper atmosphere, or troposphere, of Jupiter, showing the depth of storms in a north-south swath that crosses the planet’s equator, or equatorial zone (EZ). Blue and red ...
Did you know the Sun is actually white? Discover how Rayleigh scattering and Earth’s atmosphere make it appear yellow, orange or red from our planet.
Atmospheric desert dust has long swirled around the globe, but a new UCLA study presents the strongest evidence yet that ...
A pair of planetary scientists at the University of California, working with a colleague from the California Institute of Technology, has discovered that a massive amount of ammonia is churned up and ...
'Out of science fiction': First 3D observations of an exoplanet's atmosphere reveal a unique climate
Astronomers have peered through the atmosphere of a planet beyond the Solar System, mapping its 3D structure for the first time. By combining all four telescope units of the European Southern ...
Astronomers have detected over 5,800 confirmed exoplanets. One extreme class is ultra-hot Jupiters, of particular interest because they can provide a unique window into planetary atmospheric dynamics.
Astronomers have been studying rocky exoplanets for years, and have found several with characteristics similar to Earth. Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, Leah Hustak (STScI) Still seeking proof of life outside ...
Observations of Jupiter show that ammonia is unevenly distributed in the upper atmosphere, against expectations of uniform mixing. Scientists found evidence for a complicated but apparently real ...
