Scientists Decode Giant Venus Cloud, Say "Hydraulic Jump" Is Behind It
This happens when a fast-moving, shallow flow suddenly slows down and becomes deeper.

Scientists Find Climate Change Is Reducing Oxygen In Rivers Worldwide
Warmer water, which happens with human-caused climate change, releases more oxygen into the atmosphere.

Scientists Solve Venus Cloud Puzzle Using Simple Fluid Dynamics
Scientists discovered that a giant atmospheric wave on Venus behaves like a hydraulic jump seen in kitchen sinks. The process may explain the planet’s enormous sulfuric acid cloud front and its unusually fast atmospheric super rotation.

Astronomers Find Thin Atmosphere Around Distant Frozen Space Object
Researchers believe the discovery could provide new insights into how atmospheres form.

'Forbidden Planet' The Size Of Jupiter That Shouldn't Exist In Theory Baffles Scientists
TOI 5205b is called a 'forbidden planet' as it defies current astronomical theories about planetary formation.

Kepler-51 Super-Puff Planets Baffle Scientists as JWST Finds No Atmosphere Clues
The Kepler-51 system hosts three ultra-light “super-puff” planets with massive atmospheres and tiny cores. New JWST observations failed to detect atmospheric signatures, suggesting thick hydrocarbon haze and deepening the mystery of how such worlds form.

Medical Breakthrough: Scientists Awarded 1 Million Pounds For Life-Saving Brain Cancer Gel
UK scientists awarded £1m to develop smart gel using plasma tech, offering new hope for brain cancer, skin disease and fungal infection treatments.

Scientists Discover New Type Of Liquid Planet That Exists In A "Molten, Mushy State", Smells Like Rotten Eggs
The molten lava world is enveloped in a thick atmosphere rich in hydrogen sulfide, which would produce a powerful smell of rotting eggs.

Russia Plans Venera-D Mission to Venus in 2036 With Lander, Orbiter, and Balloon Probe
Russia plans to launch the Venera-D mission to Venus in 2036. The mission will include an orbiter, balloon probe and lander to study Venus’s atmosphere, clouds and surface, while searching for possible microbial life and continuing the legacy of Soviet Venus exploration.

How India's Heatwaves Are Changing: 5 Patterns Weather Data Is Revealing
Scientists say several factors - including warming temperatures, soil moisture loss and atmospheric circulation patterns - can contribute to prolonged heat episodes.

Rising CO2 Levels Are Reflected In Human Blood. Scientists Don't Know What It Means
Our findings are not suggesting people will become suddenly unwell when atmospheric CO reaches a certain level. What the data show is a signal that warrants attention.

NASA’s ESCAPADE Mission to Study Space Weather Between Earth and Mars
NASA’s ESCAPADE mission will send two identical orbiters to Mars to study how solar wind and space weather strip away the planet’s atmosphere. Launching in 2025 and arriving in 2027, the twin spacecraft will measure solar wind conditions and Mars’s atmospheric response simultaneously, helping scientists understand how the Red Planet lost its ...

Why Mars Dried Up: Scientists Uncover The 'Missing Link' To Its Lost Oceans
A regional dust storm on Mars may have played a significant role in the planet's water loss, pushing water vapor high into the atmosphere.

NASA Juno Mission Uncovers Subtle Geometric Shifts That Challenge Existing Models of the Jovian Interior
Scientists have refined Jupiter’s size and shape using modern radio signal observations, finding the giant planet slightly smaller and more flattened than earlier estimates. Though the difference is only a few kilometres, researchers say it greatly improves models of Jupiter’s interior, gravity, and atmospheric structure, offering deeper insigh...

Scientists Uncover "Rocket Storms" Speeding Up Water Loss on Mars
This finding suggests that Mars has been losing water year-round for billions of years, rather than just during specific seasons.
