NASA’s Hubble telescope recently captured a series of images of Neptune and Uranus that show two huge storms on the icy planets. Images were taken during the telescope’s routine annual weather monitoring schedule. The storms on both planets were concentrated in the northern regions. NASA’s Hubble Telescope captures planetary storms The storm identified on Neptune ...
Mars is our closest interstellar neighbor, and the red planet is currently in the middle of massive dust storms that have been circling it for the past couple of weeks. While these present an awesome opportunity for scientists to study the unique weather patterns of Mars, they could spell disaster for the two rovers that ...
The flipping of the Earth’s magnetic poles is like a person having a heart attack and there are many signs this might be happening right now. If the magnetic field disappears, cosmic rays will bombard our bodies, causing serious diseases such as cancer, and even change our DNA. We would also lose control of satellites, ...
It appears the Earth’s magnetic poles are changing. At the beginning of March 2021, K2 Airlines pilot Kris Pam was flying over Murdoch Glacier and found that it was flowing, with a large number of newly formed cracks visible. It looked like the entire glacier was being torn apart. He was quite shocked and took ...
A type of Martian aurora first identified by NASA’s MAVEN spacecraft in 2016 is actually the most common form occurring on the Red Planet, according to new results from the mission. The Martian aurora is known as a proton aurora and can help scientists track water loss from Mars’ atmosphere. On Earth, auroras are commonly seen ...
A Queen’s University Belfast scientist has led an international team to the ground-breaking discovery of why the Sun’s magnetic waves strengthen and grow as they emerge from its surface. The findings could help to solve the mystery of how the corona of the Sun maintains its multi-million-degree temperatures. For more than 60 years, observations of ...
Thomas Dambo, or “The Troll Whisperer,” is a Danish visionary artist and storyteller known for his larger-than-life troll sculptures. He pushes the boundaries of imagination, bringing fantastical beings to life from recycled materials like scrap wood, twigs, pallets, and more. More than 120 of Thomas Dambo’s trolls roam the landscapes of Denmark, Australia, China, Canada, ...
With technology increasingly embedded in our everyday lives, it is becoming more important to understand space weather and its impacts on tech. The Tonga volcano eruption penetrated the ionosphere and disrupted satellite navigation. When you hear “space weather,” you typically think of huge explosions on the Sun — coronal mass ejections hurled towards Earth, creating ...
It is no exaggeration to say the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) represents a new era for modern astronomy. Launched on December 25 last year and fully operational since July, the telescope offers glimpses of the universe that were inaccessible to us before. Like the Hubble Space Telescope, the Webb telescope is in space, so ...
Scientists have completed the longest-ever study tracking temperatures in Jupiter’s upper troposphere, the layer of the atmosphere where the giant planet’s weather occurs and where its signature colorful striped clouds form. The work, conducted over four decades by stitching together data from NASA spacecraft and ground-based telescope observations, found unexpected patterns in how temperatures of ...
