Western Boundary Currents Affect Local Climate Variability, Claims New Study
A new study from Colorado State University indicates that western boundary currents, such as the Gulf Stream and Kuroshio, have a more significant role in local climate variability than previously thought. By analysing satellite data and sea surface temperature fluctuations, researchers James Larson, David Thompson, and James Hurrell found that the...

Jupiter-Like Exoplanet With Iron Winds and Molten Metal Rain Discovered by Researchers
Astronomers have discovered that the exoplanet WASP-76b, located about 634 light-years away in the Pisces constellation, experiences extreme weather conditions unlike anything on Earth. With temperatures soaring to around 4,350 degrees Fahrenheit (2,400 degrees Celsius), the planet's atmosphere is ravaged by high-speed iron winds and molten metal r...

Antarctica Was Last Ice-Free 34 Million Years Ago: What Triggered This Climate Shift?
Antarctica, which is nearly four times the size of the United States, was not always covered in ice. The last time it was ice-free was 34 million years ago during the Eocene-Oligocene boundary. At that time, global temperatures were higher, and carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere were much higher than today. However, a significant drop in CO2 l...

NASA's Parker Solar Probe Unveils New Insights into Solar Heating Mystery
NASA's Parker Solar Probe has delivered groundbreaking insights into one of the sun's most perplexing mysteries: why its outer atmosphere, or corona, is significantly hotter than its surface. This phenomenon, known as the "coronal heating mystery," has puzzled scientists for decades. The Parker Solar Probe, which is the fastest human-made object, h...

Earth-Sized World With Potential For Life Discovered Just 40 Light-Years Away
Astronomers have discovered Gliese 12 b, an exoplanet potentially habitable due to its size and temperature similarity to Earth and Venus.

Scientists Come Up With New Hack To Cool Down Warming Planet - By Reducing Atmospheric Vapour
Water vapour is also classified as a greenhouse gas, which is most abundant in the atmosphere, that amplifies the greenhouse effect.

Climate Change's Harsh Reality Is Making the Weather Worse for People Across Globe as Temperature Rises
Reports of bomb-like blizzards and scorching droughts provide a dreadful image of climate change's potential reality. In recent decades, modern data demonstrate an unnatural global warming trend that has taken control of the Earth's climate. Humans release heat-trapping carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, raising global t...

Antarctic Ice Shelf, Almost As Big As Rome, Collapses As Temperature Rises
The temperature in East Antarctica rose to minus 11.8 degrees Celsius last week, more than 40 degrees Celsius warmer than the seasonal norm.

ISRO Says Mangalyaan Threw Similar Results About Sun's Corona as NASA's Parker Probe
The Sun is a mysterious place. Its atmosphere gets much hotter the farther one goes from the Sun's blazing surface. In fact, the outermost part of the Sun (corona) burns at a temperature rising to one million degrees Celsius, while just 1,500 kilometres below, the surface simmers at 5,500 degrees Celsius.
