A project led by the University of Washington to better understand our atmosphere's complexity is a finalist for NASA's next generation of Earth-observing satellites. STRIVE seeks to better understand ...

Astronomers have broken new ground in the field of exoplanet research by creating the first-ever 3D map of an exoplanet’s atmosphere. The subject of this pioneering study, WASP-121b, has revealed a ...

A team of astronomers used the James Webb Space Telescope to create the first 3D atmospheric map of an exoplanet. The fiery WASP-18b, a massive “ultra-hot Jupiter,” revealed striking temperature ...

Using JWST, scientists mapped WASP-18b’s atmosphere in 3D, revealing blazing regions where water molecules split apart.

Building with 3D printers has matured rapidly in recent years, as advances in technology and material science allow for grander and more ambitious designs. The potential uses are also increasingly ...

For the first time, scientists have developed a 3D map of an atmosphere belonging to a planet outside our solar system. Attached to a particularly mysterious alien world, the newly charted atmosphere ...

Tylos (or WASP-121b) is a gaseous, giant exoplanet located some 900 light-years away in the constellation Puppis. Using the ESPRESSO instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT), scientists have ...

Astronomers have mapped the weather of a distant exoplanet for the first time, uncovering a world of extreme winds, searing ...

Great Red Spot on Jupiter captured by NASA Juno probe (NASA/JPL-Caltech/SwRI/MSSS, Gerald Eichstädt and Sean Doran (CC BY-NC-SA)) NASA's Juno probe has provided a ...

Venus Express has spied a surprisingly cold region high in the planet’s atmosphere that may be frigid enough for carbon dioxide to freeze out as ice or snow. The planet Venus is well known for its ...

STRIVE proposes to launch a satellite that takes a sideways view of Earth’s atmosphere, at what is sometimes called “Earth’s limb.” This photo of Earth’s limb was taken Feb. 12, 2020, from the ...
