NASA’s Carruthers Geocorona Observatory, a groundbreaking mission, is set to provide new insights into the outermost layer of Earth’s atmosphere, the exosphere. The mission will capture detailed ...

The powerful vision of NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has allowed astronomers to study for the first time the layer-cake structure of the atmosphere of a planet orbiting another star. Hubble discovered ...

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 ...

A new study using NASA and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) data finds consistent evidence that Earth’s ozone layer is on the mend. A team led by Eun-Su Yang of the Georgia ...

NASA’s Carruthers mission will film Earth’s elusive exosphere to understand space weather, atmospheric escape, and planetary habitability. A NASA mission aims to photograph a feature of Earth that is ...

Astronomers are scratching their heads at the odd chemistry, which hints at soot clouds and possibly diamond formation deep ...

Using data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have detected clouds made up of silicate, or sand, in the atmosphere of a nearby exoplanet, or planet outside our solar system. WASP-107b ...

Mars changed from a blue world with water to a red desert because its atmosphere escaped into space over billions of years.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has discovered a new, never-before-seen feature in Jupiter's atmosphere. The high-speed jet stream, which spans more than 3,000 miles (4,800 kilometers) wide, sits ...

Mars at sunset reveals dozens of razor-thin atmospheric layers in stunning detail, helping scientists map dust and ice ...

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 ...
