A study has suggested that this motion of our star through the galaxy potentially takes us through regions of space that could affect our planet's climate. According to the study, the Solar System may ...

Crystal clouds on a distant world may shimmer like sun dogs, hinting at exotic optics shaped by heat, wind, and starlight.

A new study suggests that recent rapid global warming may be linked to falling sulphur dioxide pollution, which has dimmed cloud reflectivity and reduced Earth’s albedo. While the warming is likely ...

Now, a new study has used computer models to reveal that lightning strikes as the result of a powerful chain reaction that ...
