For years, scientists have puzzled over how Mars lost the thick atmosphere it once had. That atmosphere was essential for liquid water to exist on the planet’s surface, billions of years ago.

Although the results of this study cover a long 20-year period, this still only reflects one period of seasonal change in Uranus’ atmosphere.

Researchers found that atmospheric mercury levels have decreased by almost 70% in the last 20 years, mainly because human-caused emissions have been reduced.

Imagine if Earth's history had a mystery novel, and one of its biggest unsolved puzzles was: Where did all the nitrogen go? Scientists have long known that our planet's rocky outer layers—the ...
