World's oldest rocks show how Earth may have dodged frozen fate of Mars
Carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that has become a bane of modern society, may have saved Earth from freezing over early in the planet's history, according to the first detailed laboratory analysis of the world's oldest sedimentary rocks. view more (2007-02-06)
Missing Link to Cloud Formation Found
New chemical research shows how cloud seedlings form over forested areas. view more (2009-08-11)
Worldwide atmospheric measurements will determine the role of atmospheric fine particles
The Finnish Meteorological Institute in Helsinki, Finland, will host the first annual meeting of the European Integrated Project on Aerosol Cloud Climate and Air Quality Interactions, EUCAARI, headed by Academy Professor Markku Kulmala, on 19-22 November 2007. view more (2007-11-16)
DANCE EXPERT TO CHOREOGRAPH MOOD AND ATMOSPHERE INTO VIRTUAL WORLDS
The work is being carried out by a team in the Centre for Communication Interface Research at the University of Edinburgh, with funding from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. view more (2000-01-10)
Jupiter: A cloudy mirror for the Sun?
Astronomers using the European Space Agency's XMM-Newton telescope have discovered that observing the giant planet Jupiter may actually give them an insight in to solar activity on the far side of the Sun! In research reported in the most recent edition of Geophysical Research Letters, they discovered that Jupiter's x-ray glow is due to x-rays... view more... (2005-03-07)
Storm clouds over Titan
Taking advantage of advanced techniques to correct distortions caused by Earth's atmosphere, astronomers used the NSF-supported Gemini Observatory to capture the first images of clouds over the tropics of Titan, Saturn's largest moon. view more (2009-08-13)
Mars Express observes aurorae on the Red Planet
Scientists using ESA's Mars Express have produced the first crude map of aurorae on Mars. These displays of ultraviolet light appear to be located close to the residual magnetic fields generated by Mars's crustal rocks. view more (2008-11-24)
Hungry microbes share out the carbon in the roots of plants
Sugars made by plants are rapidly used by microbes living in their roots, according to new research at the University of York, creating a short cut in the carbon cycle that is vital to life on earth. view more (2007-10-19)
New isotope molecule may add to Venus' greenhouse effect
Planetary scientists on both sides of the Atlantic have tracked down a rare molecule in the atmospheres of both Mars and Venus. The molecule, an exotic form of carbon dioxide, could affect the way the greenhouse mechanism works on Venus. view more (2007-10-11)
Cosmic rays detected deep underground reveal secrets of the upper atmosphere
Cosmic-rays detected half a mile underground in a disused U.S. iron-mine can be used to detect major weather events occurring 20 miles up in the Earth's upper atmosphere, a new study has revealed. view more (2009-01-22)
University of Oregon researcher finds that on water's surface, nitric acid is not so tough
Nitric acid is a notoriously strong and chemically destructive compound found in water on earth and in our atmosphere. However, a team of researchers have found that its punch is much weaker when it sits on the top of a water surface. view more (2007-08-21)
Rovers begin new observations on changing Martian atmosphere
Mars rover scientists have launched a new long-term study on the Martian atmosphere with the Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer, an instrument that was originally developed at the University of Chicago. view more (2007-08-30)
More new ideas for satellite navigation systems at summer school
University students studying space or related topics met recently in Alpback, Austria for the 25th Summer School. From 17 to 26 July, two students from each of ESA's 15 Member States plus Canada, got together with 30 experts on space to discuss and develop new futuristic ideas for the innovative use of satellite navigation systems. The Summer... view more... (2001-08-10)
Meteorite bombardment may have made Earth more habitable, says study
Large bombardments of meteorites approximately four billion years ago could have helped to make the early Earth and Mars more habitable for life by modifying their atmospheres. view more (2009-06-02)
Computer models suggest planetary and extrasolar planet atmospheres
The world is abuzz with the discovery of an extrasolar, Earth-like planet around the star Gliese 581 that is relatively close to our Earth at 20 light years away in the constellation Libra. view more (2007-06-20)
Simulation suggests rocky exoplanet has bizarre atmosphere
So accustomed are we to the sunshine, rain, fog and snow of our home planet that we find it next to impossible to imagine a different atmosphere and other forms of precipitation. view more (2009-10-01)
Queen's scientists discover giant solar twists
Scientists at Queen's University have made a finding that will help us to understand more about the turbulent solar weather and its affect on our planet. view more (2009-03-20)
Study Sheds Light on Earth's CO2 Cycles, Possible Impacts of Climate Change
A research team, including Kent State Professor of Geology Dr. Joseph Ortiz, tracing the origin of the large carbon dioxide increase in Earth's atmosphere at the end of the last ice age has detected two ancient "burps" that originated from the deepest parts of the southern ocean around Antarctica. view more (2007-05-14)
Coral reefs may start dissolving when atmospheric CO2 doubles
Rising carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the resulting effects on ocean water are making it increasingly difficult for coral reefs to grow, say scientists. view more (2009-03-10)
Small, self-controlled planes combine plant pathology and engineering
A Virginia Tech plant pathologist has developed autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to detect airborne pathogens above agricultural fields. view more (2007-06-14)
