Scientists have developed an algorithm called Astroclimes, which transforms stargazing instruments into climate sensors that ...

A massive comet trail may have caused climate upheaval on Earth more than 12,000 years ago, sparking the Younger Dryas.

Aerosols, small particles in the atmosphere like salt and dust, may offset a third of human-caused climate warming, though their influence is fading.

Mars has a cold, desert-like climate with a thin atmosphere that supports extreme temperature variations, from highs of 68 °F ...

A bottom-up modeling approach could bring scientists closer to understanding communities of microbes in the atmosphere.

Scientists have uncovered microscopic clues buried deep in the ocean floor that could support a bold theory — a comet ...

To find out how fast the Earth is spinning at all, you need to find a reference frame in which, ideally, nothing is moving.

Earth’s climate has never been static. It shifts between warm interglacial periods and deep freezes, driven by complex interactions between the atmosphere, oceans, and even Earth’s orbit ...

Earth is spinning faster this summer, making the days marginally shorter and attracting the attention of scientists and ...

Even a policy of “drill, baby, drill” would imply more climate research, not its evisceration, says Ralph Keeling ...
