Images captured by astronauts reveal a rare atmospheric phenomenon and help uncover the electrical secrets of the upper ...

It seems as if Earth's atmosphere is incredibly thin, wrapped tightly around our planet. In fact, the atmosphere consists of multiple layers, with some scientists of the opinion that the atmosphere ...

Over time, they noticed that the atmosphere had distinct layers. By the early 1900s, scientists had identified major layers of the atmosphere based on how the temperature changed at different ...

"It was so stunning to not just see the auroras, but the detail and clarity of the signature really shocked me." ...

The ISR has numerous projects to explore the phenomenology of the Earth's ionosphere, the region of the Earth's upper atmosphere that is dominated by ions and free electrons. Investigations include ...

Within several minutes, these vibrations reach the topmost layer of atmosphere: the Sun-cooked, electrically charged ionosphere. The ensuing clash of pressure waves with charged particles can ...

SOME years ago considerable discussion took place concerning the relation between the constitution of the ionosphere and its refractive index for radio waves. The question at issue was whether the ...

After nearly 36 years of searching, astronomers have finally confirmed Neptune has auroras, thanks to data from the James ...

Jupiter’s skies can glow with lights more intense than anything on Earth. Its polar auroras shine when charged particles ...
