A UC Berkeley lab is controlling a NASA mission to study the farthest reaches of Earth’s atmosphere from afar using the Carruthers Geocorona Observatory.

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, ...

JWST observations of exoplanet TRAPPIST-1d reveal a lack of a substantial, Earth-like atmosphere, as indicated by a "flat" spectral signature lacking typical atmospheric molecule fingerprints (e.g., ...

Four of the most important interconnected parts of the Earth's climate system are losing stability. This is shown by an international scientific study ...

What processes have regulated climate over the course of Earth’s history? Researchers are addressing this question in the ...

This model reveals how vastly different the atmosphere was on ancient Earth, and how life may have first emerged. The key to unlocking the secrets of distant planets starts right here on Earth.

"At this point, we can rule out TRAPPIST-1d from a list of potential Earth twins or cousins." There's bad news for our hopes of habitable planets existing around TRAPPIST-1, with the James Webb Space ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

A distant exoplanet might have an atmosphere similar to Earth's, early observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) suggest. It is part of a group of planets orbiting a star called TRAPPIST ...

That raises the possibility that the TRAPPIST-1e exoplanet could also have liquid water and therefore support life.

Never-before-seen “dark beads” and other unique structures were observed in the atmosphere above the north pole of Saturn — ...
