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

Earth TOI-561 b must have a thick atmosphere, data from the JWST indicates, or its day side would be even hotter than it is.

JWST observations of the ultra-hot super-Earth exoplanet TOI-561 b provide the strongest evidence to date for an atmosphere surrounding a rocky planet beyond our Solar System.

Webb’s latest observations reveal a hellish world cloaked in an unexpected atmosphere: TOI-561 b, an ultra-hot rocky planet racing around its star in under 11 hours. Despite being blasted by intense ...

The moon's surface may be more than just a dusty, barren landscape. Over billions of years, tiny particles from Earth's atmosphere have landed in the lunar soil, creating a possible source of ...

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 ...

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, ...

The oxygen in Earth's atmosphere is key to making ours the only planet known to harbor life, but this precious resource is in limited supply. Although it is the best-known component of the air we ...

If you have seen a bright light streak across the sky, you have likely seen a meteor. Meteors are rocks from space that hit Earth's atmosphere and are commonly referred to as falling stars or shooting ...
