The two rovers on the surface of Mars are not doing very well, as the dust storm continues and is showing no signs of decreasing in intensity. Rising dust blocks sunlight from reaching the two rovers, who are now operating just above the critical energy level.NASA is worried that things could get worse. These storms... |

The Red Planet is full of natural phenomena that are somewhat bizarre, considering the fact that Mars' atmosphere is less than 1 percent as dense as Earth's. But why do these strange phenomena occur, sometimes far more violent than similar ones in the much thicker atmosphere on Earth?Storms are the most en... |

A gigantic storm, covering a large portion of the Martian surface has affected the two Mars Exploration Rovers, causing them to lose power. NASA is worried that things could get worse. These storms appear when the planet is closest to the Sun, which increases the overall temperature and produces huge winds that lift... |

It seems the giant of our solar system is full of surprises. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope took some astonishing pictures of the dramatic atmospheric changes on the planets, the like of which were never seen before.The planet already had some unique atmospheric features, like the high-altitude clouds and a haze... |

The atmosphere on Mars is thinner than the one on Earth, with a surface pressure less than 1 percent that on Earth, but it is quite dusty. This doesn't prevent the planet from experiencing the largest dust storms in our solar system.Now, a gigantic storm is covering large areas of the surface, having the potent... |

The aurora is a bright glow observed in the night sky, usually in the polar areas of Earth, as if the sun were rising from an unusual direction. In northern latitudes, it is known as the aurora borealis, named after the Roman goddess of the dawn, Aurora, and the Greek name for north wind, Boreas. Its southern counter... |

Every 11 years, the Sun experiences its own "storm season," with violent explosions in its atmosphere, with an energy equivalent to a billion megatons and travelling towards Earth at about 1 million km per hour (about 0.05% the speed of light), though sometimes much faster. Predicting such events is not easy, but no... |

The Cassini space probe brought new evidence that contradicts older theories, by showing that rotating eddies (Saturn's giant storms) are driving Saturn's jet stream winds, not the other way around."Intuition would say that the eddies take energy out of the jets, because of the friction and tugging of the... |

NASA's New Horizons space probe is on its way to the last planet (actually the former last planet, as it was "degraded" to the rank of "trans-neptunian object" this year), Pluto. But on its way it took some very beautiful snapshots of Jupiter's system.In fact, the gas giant is so complex that it looks lik... |

1 of 280,000 people are struck by lightning every year! "So why go outside? Bad things could happen!" Well, at least that's what David Lynch once said in a non-lightning related interview. But you do have to go out sometimes even if it's raining with flashes. So, if you're afraid of your own shadow and... |

The first three-dimensional images of the sun have been released by NASA, enabling scientists, for the first time, to see structures in the sun's atmosphere in three dimensions thus helping them to track solar storms more accurately.The data transmitted by the twin Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatories, kno... |
