On Jan. 31, 1958, Explorer 1 became the first satellite launched by the United States. Its primary science instrument, a ...

A new study published in the Journal of Climate reveals how surface warming in Antarctica, particularly over the Antarctic Peninsula, is significantly altering the stability of the lowest layers of ...

Frequent deployment of satellites and re-entries by the rockets that deploy them might pose a risk to the Earth's upper ...

For the first time ever, scientists have observed in near real time a cloud of air pollution created as a SpaceX rocket burned up in Earth's atmosphere.

A new study shows that during the last two deglaciations, i.e., the transition from an ice age to the warm interglacial periods, meltwater from the Antarctic ice sheet intensified stratification in ...

The Earth's magnetic field and oxygen evolved together over 540 million years, according to a major NASA study.

Ice-sheet melt temporarily intensified Southern Ocean stratification between ice ages and warmer interglacial periods, thus slowing global ocean circulation as a team lead by the Max Planck Institute ...

By Denise Lineberry NASA's Earth Radiation Budget Satellite (ERBS), a part of the NASA's three satellite Earth Radiation Budget ...

Scientists tracked lithium pollution from a SpaceX Falcon 9 reentry in real time, linking rocket debris to atmospheric changes using LIDAR measurements over Europe.

The study found that those aerosols could warm parts of the upper atmosphere by about 1.5 degrees Celsius within one or two ...

Scientists can now follow the path of a single drop of water across the globe. Water is made of hydrogen and oxygen, and some of these atoms naturally ...
