A thick atmosphere has been detected around a planet that's twice as big as Earth in a nearby solar system, researchers reported Wednesday. The so-called super Earth — known as 55 Cancri e — is among ...

As telescopes have become more powerful, we’ve been finding tons of “exoplanets”—planets orbiting faraway stars. One such planet, known as exoplanet TRAPPIST-1 d, has intrigued astronomers looking for ...

A team led by the University of Colorado Boulder has found the mechanism behind the sudden onset of a “natural thermostat” in Earth’s upper atmosphere that dramatically cools the air after it has been ...

A switch from predominantly undersea volcanoes to a mix of undersea and terrestrial ones shifted the Earth’s atmosphere from devoid of oxygen to one with free oxygen, according to geologists. “The ...

Hot air holds more moisture than cold air. That simple truth, while familiar to anyone who’s used a blow dryer or walked outside after a humid shower, is driving a hidden shift in how droughts behave.
