Scientists have been arguing about the origin of strange streaks on Mars since the earliest missions to the Red Planet.

The researchers further demonstrated that the ammonia kicks off an atmospheric chain reaction. Out at sea, tiny plantlike ...

In December 2022, Matthew Boyer hopped on an Argentine military plane to one of the more remote habitations on Earth: ...

Afar is a hotspot with hot rock masses rising from deep within the mantle. It created volcanism and lifted the landscape in northeastern Africa. Hot rock masses then flowed further north beneath the ...

Some penguin populations, however, are under serious threat because of climate change. Losing them and their guano could mean ...

A series of experiments led by Southwest Research Institute's Dr. Ujjwal Raut support spectral data recently collected by the ...

A small international team of astronomers has confirmed that a binary star system with an odd signal has a companion—a planet ...

The ammonia from Adélie penguin guano reacts with sulfur-containing gases in the atmosphere to aid in forming clouds, which ...

ABSTRACT: The study area encompasses the Odienné and Touba sectors in northwestern Côte d’Ivoire. It is located in the Archean-Paleoproterozoic Transition Zone (APTZ), the major structure of which, ...

However, at larger distances planetary nebulae (PNe) replace stars as the tracer of the dynamics. Making use of the motion of PNe, Romanowsky et al. measured the dynamics of three luminous elliptical ...

Abstract: Most mountain ranges are formed by the compression and folding of colliding tectonic plates. Subduction of one plate causes large-scale asymmetry while their layered composition (or ...
