Current global climate models (GCMs) support with high confidence the view that rising greenhouse gases and other ...

Researchers have developed a solar cell system that uses mirrors to concentrate solar energy. In addition to electricity, it produces heat for a plant that will capture carbon from industrial ...

Researchers at the University at Albany are building a computer model that will predict weather-related electrical outages ...

This hypothesis has the advantage of explaining why the rings have a lot of ice and little rock, in contrast to models where a moon strayed inside Saturn’s Roche limit and was pulled apart.

Astronomers found a strange planetary system 116 light-years away. It orbits a red dwarf star called LHS 1903. The planets are arranged in an unexpected order. The outermost planet is rocky, which ...

A small red dwarf star in the Milky Way has drawn attention after astronomers mapped four closely orbiting planets around it. The system, known as LHS.

Typically, from what astronomers have gathered thus far, star systems follow a tidy logic: small, rocky worlds huddle close to the warmth of their star, while massive gas giants bloat up in the colder ...

Stokey’s Solar Walk transforms the revetment between Bonchurch and Wheelers Bay into a to-scale model of our planetary neighbourhood.

Astronomers have found a distant world that challenges planetary formation theory, with a rocky planet where gas giants should be.

Scientists say a nearby red dwarf star hosts a planetary lineup that looks like a mirror image of our own solar system, with ...

Space weather can disrupt satellite navigation and communication systems by triggering rapid fluctuations in the ionosphere.
