Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, is the only moon in the solar system with a dense atmosphere which is comprised of thick hazes of 95 percent nitrogen (N2) and 5 percent methane (NH4) that require radar ...

A tightly orbiting planet in another star system is overturning long held ideas about what small, super heated worlds can keep around them. TOI 561 b circles its star in less than half a day and faces ...

Titan's dense atmosphere, primarily nitrogen with approximately 5% methane, is surprisingly persistent despite the moon's low mass, posing a significant scientific question regarding its longevity.

Rising concentrations of carbon dioxide in the upper atmosphere will change the way geomagnetic storms impact Earth, with potential implications for thousands of orbiting satellites, according to new ...

The new data confirm that TOI-561 b maintains a substantial atmosphere despite its extreme heat. Astronomers from the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, D.C., reported that TOI-561 b has ...

Astronomers have discovered an unusual exoplanet that has managed to retain its atmosphere despite intense nearby radiation from a giant red star. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University found the ...

Rising CO₂ levels will make the upper atmosphere colder and thinner, altering how geomagnetic storms impact satellites. Future storms could cause sharper density spikes despite lower overall density, ...

The moon’s thin atmosphere contains neon, a gas commonly used in electric signs on Earth because of its intense glow. While scientists have speculated on the presence of neon in the lunar atmosphere ...
