The outermost part of our planet’s atmosphere extends well beyond the lunar orbit – almost twice the distance to the Moon. A recent discovery based on observations by the ESA/NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, SOHO, shows that the gaseous layer ...
The recently discovered asteroid COWECP5 entered Earth’s atmosphere at around 11:15 a.m. ET (17:15 C.E.T) on December 3 and created a fireball over the sky in Eastern Siberia. According to the European Space Agency’s (ESA) social media post, people in ...
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, which combines numerical modeling with observational data ...
A study says the coloring of microplastics can make a big difference in how much they heat up the Earth.

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 composition, movement, and density occur. This is the ...
Carbon dioxide makes up only about 0.04% of the Earth’s atmosphere, but that seemingly small figure ignores threat CO2 poses to the climate. Carbon dioxide accounts for 79% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. Most of the world’s scientists agree that greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere from human activity are driving climate change.
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’s atmosphere was a reducing one, chock full of ...
