A colossal ice core sample drilled in Antarctica may contain the oldest, unbroken timeline of Earth's climate, stretching back more than a million years. Laid horizontally, the entire ice core's 2,800 ...

The International Space Station (ISS) orbits high above our heads, yet the pull of Earth's gravity never hauls the complex out of orbit and sends it plummeting through our atmosphere, where it ...

Significant warming (as much as ∼50 K) accompanied by fast equatorward flow in the lower thermosphere (up to ∼100 m/s changes in the meridional wind above 100 km altitude) were observed. The ...

Earth recorded its hottest year ever in 2024, with such a big jump that the planet temporarily passed a major climate threshold, several weather monitoring agencies announced Friday. Last year's ...

If someone were trying to deliberately tamper with the earth's atmosphere, would we even know it? We will if the scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have anything to ...
