Data from the telescope indicated that the incredibly hot and small world was surrounded by a thick layer of gas, likely ...

Chemical reactions in the Arctic atmosphere are accelerating warming and reshaping climate far beyond the polar region.

A Carnegie-led team of astronomers detected the strongest evidence yet of an atmosphere around a rocky planet beyond our ...

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, ...
