In a coordinated monitoring effort, scientists have uncovered the timing and triggering of high-energy lightning events in the sky.Read More »Planetary Sciences
“Cousin” worlds—slightly bigger or slightly hotter than Earth—can help us understand planetary habitability, but we need more lab and numerical experiments to make the most of this opportunity.Read More »Planetary Sciences
La idea de mandar gente a Marte ha capturado la imaginación del público, pero ¿hemos realmente considerado cómo nuestra presencia alteraría al planeta?Read More »Planetary Sciences
The assessment of space weather event forecasts would benefit from more nuanced approaches that take account of event intensities peaking near the thresholds used to identify such events.Read More »Planetary Sciences
Chemical compositions of rocks from Mars indicate that the earliest orbits of Jupiter and Saturn were more circular than they are today.Read More »Space Science & Space Physics
Proxima Centauri recently let loose a blast of radiation, and ground- and space-based telescopes detected the record-setting event at wavelengths ranging from radio to the ultraviolet.Read More »Space Science & Space Physics
Simulations of radiation storm fluxes on real flight paths highlight how severe space weather could expose aircrew and passengers on busy transatlantic routes to significant radiation doses.Read More »Planetary Sciences
