A paper detailing the convection cell observations has been published in the journal Nature. The video below zooms in on π1 Gruis from the perspective of Earth.

The discovery not only adds to our visual catalog of Earth’s upper-atmosphere behavior ... shows a Rayleigh-Bénard convection cell in action—a meteorological process that occurs when warm ...

can last up to 24 hours and have diameters greater than Earth’s. In 1968, scientists theorized that even longer-lived and larger convection cells, big enough to span the entire convective zone ...

The image covers an area of 36,500×36,500 km 2 on the Sun’s surface – which is about 2.6 times the surface area of Earth. Despite the huge area ... The granular structures in the image are convection ...

A cell's fluorescence dimming as a magnetic field passes over it. The Earth's magnetic field is a result of the movement or convection of liquid iron in the outer core. As the liquid metal in the ...

The crust of volcanically active Venus could be churning with convection currents just like the Earth's mantle. This is the conclusion of researchers from the Washington University in St. Louis ...
