Scientists have found an advance in lunar sustainability. By using fabricated solar cells using simulated Moon dust, this creates a lightweight and radiation resistant energy source for future Moon missions.
Mars has always been believed to have been red due to the rocks on its surface filled with iron. Scientists have published a new study in Nature showing the oxidation of a mineral to give the planet its red color.
After the Gulf Coast was left in a blanket of snow and cold temperatures last week, researchers are wondering about a connection between the polar vortex moving farther south and global warming.
Scientists have published a new study warning of the collapse of a key ocean current, and the effects could have dire implications across the globe. The report discusses other climate tipping points as well.
It is historically rare for a storm to reach 200 mph or more. However, it may not be as uncommon in the future. Rapid intensification as of late has opened this thought for scientists.
Scientists are still awaiting La Nina’s arrival. El Nino ended back in May, but conditions have not yet signaled the beginning of La Nina, which could have impacts on hurricane season and winter in the US.
Weather radar picked up on something strange in the eye of Hurricane Helene at landfall, and it wasn’t precipitation. Scientists are saying it was a mass of birds trapped in Helene’s eye.
Earth’s topography is a result of what happens beneath the surface. In places like South Africa, Brazil and India, plateaus are in locations where plateau formation would be unusual, until now.
It may be winter in the Southern Hemisphere, but Antarctica is experiencing a long-lasting heat wave
The middle of winter has brought a heat wave to Antarctica, and could last for a few more days. This is the second major heat wave for Antarctica in the last two years.
Millions of Texans in and around the Houston area are still without power after Category 1 Hurricane Beryl made landfall on Monday. Residents are not happy with the utility company, CenterPoint Energy.
Airplanes are known to go through turbulence, but severe turbulence like what was experienced earlier this week on a Singapore Airlines flight was rare, and it could become more common.
Concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have increased every year since measurements began back in 1958, and it looks like they won’t decrease any time soon due to human activity.
A large opening in Antarctic sea ice left scientists puzzled for many years. Now, they have finally figured out what caused it. This process is also a cause for a decrease in overall sea ice levels in Antarctica.
Wildfires are now continuing to burn through the overnight hours, and firefighters are finding these fires more difficult to fight. Drought conditions seem to be the cause for this problem.
The climate crisis has led to the invention of different mechanisms to try and slow down global warming. However, without proper regulation, these experiments could do more harm than good.
International flights were quick trips over the weekend with wind speeds in the jet stream reaching over 260 miles per hour. Flights reached speeds of over 800 miles per hour.
2023 saw an unexpected coral bleaching event, especially in Florida and the Caribbean. In fact, scientists had to make the scale larger to really show the effects of coral bleaching.
The tropical Atlantic Ocean is seeing record warm temperatures, ones that are normally seen in July. Scientists let us know if this will impact how strong the 2024 hurricane season will be.
Nearby spiral galaxies in new Webb telescope images give insight as to how these galaxies form and what really makes up their composition. Webb is the only telescope able to do so.
