Before and after space Clouds play key role in moderating Earth's surface warming
McGill University researchers have revealed that changes in cloud cover are helping to slightly counteract global warming. While greenhouse gases continue to drive temperatures upward, a reduction in low-cloud cover over land has contributed to a small decrease in the amount of heat retained near the Earth's surface.
"We started this research to observationally verify the increase of green Solar Observatory sees coronal loops flicker before big flares
For decades, scientists have tried in vain to accurately predict solar flares - intense bursts of light on the Sun that can send a flurry of charged particles into the solar system. Now, using NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, one team has identified flickering loops in the solar atmosphere, or corona, that seem to signal when the Sun is about to unleash a large flare.
These warning signs NASA celebrates Edwin Hubble's discovery of a new universe
For humans, the most important star in the universe is our Sun. The second-most important star is nestled inside the Andromeda galaxy. Don't go looking for it - the flickering star is 2.2 million light-years away, and is 1/100,000th the brightness of the faintest star visible to the human eye.
Yet, a century ago, its discovery by Edwin Hubble, then an astronomer at Carnegie Observatories, Fresh, direct evidence for tiny drops of quark-gluon plasma
A new analysis of data from the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) reveals fresh evidence that collisions of even very small nuclei with large ones might create tiny specks of a quark-gluon plasma (QGP). Scientists believe such a substance of free quarks and gluons, the building blocks of protons and neutrons, permeated the universe a fraction of a second after the B
