There is another way forward. A circular economy for space applies the same principles that aims to transform modern waste policy on Earth. This means designing products to last and keep them in ...

When part of a SpaceX rocket re-entered Earth's atmosphere exactly a year ago, it created a spectacuglar fireball that ...

When we look up at the night sky and see a satellite glide past, we might not consider climate change or the ozone layer. Space may feel separate from the environmental systems that sustain life on ...

Webb maps Uranus’s upper atmosphere, revealing cooling temperatures, shifting auroras, and the effects of its tilted magnetic field.

While trying to determine if it could use the entire Earth’s atmosphere as a massive sensor, the US military’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) made a highly unusual detection. The ...

Uranus does not behave like an ordinary planet. Its magnetic field tilts by nearly 60 degrees and sits off-center, so the charged particles that spark auroras do not gather in neat rings.

For the first time, an international team of astronomers have mapped the vertical structure of Uranus's upper atmosphere, uncovering how temperature and charged particles vary with height across the ...

The James Webb Space Telescope delivers the 1st detailed 3D map of Uranus’s upper atmosphere, revealing dramatic temperature ...

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, ...

Over the past decade, southern Australia has suffered numerous extreme weather and climate events, such as record-breaking heatwaves, bushfires, two major droughts and even flash flooding. While ...

Researchers say they have gathered evidence of Mars' atmosphere sputtering for the first time. Understanding how Mars' atmosphere has changed over time will undoubtedly help us discover more about the ...

Astronomers have searched for years for rocky planets beyond our solar system with an atmosphere — a trait considered essential for any possibility of harboring life. Well, they finally seem to have ...
