The solar wind may be stripping away Mars’ atmosphere by creating giant rolling waves along its outer edge. Data from MAVEN ...

This infographic shows the multiple layers of our atmosphere, extending from the ground up into space, and how the new dataset compares in coverage to those currently available. Credit: D.Koshin, K.

The thermosphere extends from about 100 to 1,000 kilometers (62 to 621 miles) above Earth. More than 99 percent of the upper ...

Researchers have found a clever new way to map a part of Earth’s upper atmosphere that is notoriously difficult to observe. Using orbital data from roughly 1,200 Starlink satellites, they ...

The space around Earth is becoming increasingly crowded, with thousands of satellites and pieces of debris now sharing low ...

On Earth, a similar process occurs when wind generates rolling waves and vortices as it sweeps across the surface of water.

Uranus provides a unique laboratory to test our understanding of planetary atmospheres under extreme conditions. Multi-spectral observations from Voyager, ground-based observatories, and space ...

The secret has been hiding in plain view for 40 years. But it took the insight of a veteran astronomer to pull it all together within a year, using observations of Saturn from NASA’s Hubble Space ...
