By combining several telescope dishes, the three-dimensional structure of an exoplanet's atmosphere could be mapped for the ...

Marinoan global glaciation lasting 4 million years confirmed; stable ice defies current climate models and biological ...

Earth's atmosphere is divided into several distinct layers, each characterized by specific temperature variations, composition, and phenomena. Below are the primary layers of the atmosphere, from the ...

Imagine a Slushee composed of ammonia and water encased in a hard shell of water ice. Now picture these ice-encrusted ...

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 ...

This is because vertical mixing has moved warm, CO-rich gas from the deeper layers of the atmosphere up into the outer layers, where it has 'out competed' the methane that should be there." ...

A bizarre hailstorm of icy “mushballs” — slushy mixtures of ammonia and water — has been confirmed on Jupiter, where intense ...

The Earth has a fascinating atmosphere that contains several unique layers. The Troposphere is the layer that we live in, it ...

A good estimation of the cloud tops is like the finest gold, especially for pilots flying under IFR during the winter months.
