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

Atmospheric rivers—narrow bands of concentrated water vapor transported polewards from the tropics—don't just deliver a deluge of rainfall, but play a key role in driving extreme heat events and ...

Volcanoes and wildfires can inject millions of tons of gases and aerosol particles into the air, affecting temperatures on a global scale. But picking out the specific impact of individual events ...

The planet Uranus is finally revealing some of its best-hidden phenomena, thanks to a completely new mapping of its upper atmosphere. Created for the first time in three dimensions, this ...

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

DAVINCI will send a meter-diameter probe to brave the high temperatures and pressures near Venus’ surface to explore the atmosphere from above the clouds to near the surface of a terrain that may have ...

Webb has delivered the first detailed 3D view of Uranus’s upper atmosphere, uncovering glowing auroras, heat peaks thousands of kilometers high, and the powerful influence of its tilted magnetic field ...

CLEVELAND — Precipitation—the water that falls from clouds—comes in many forms, including rain, snow, sleet, and freezing rain. The type we experience depends largely on the atmospheric conditions ...

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.
