... have even more in common than previously thought. “All of a sudden we understood that gaseous nickel is present in cometary atmospheres in other corners of the Galaxy,” says co-author Michał Drahus, also from the Jagiellonian University. “How cool...
... a geomagnetic storm the following day,” SpaceX admitted in a statement issued a week later. “These storms cause the atmosphere to warm and atmospheric density at our low deployment altitudes to increase. The speed and severity of the storm resulted...
... probe the planet’s internal structure and gravity field as well as investigate the structure and composition of the atmosphere. The instruments will work together to best characterise the interaction between the planet’s different boundaries – from...
... us to determine whether life exists on exoplanets that we can characterise. So far, measurements have been mostly restricted to the atmosphere of about a dozen hot Jupiters. The next few decades will see multiple experiments that, when used...
... xenon was replaced in stages by a nitrogen–oxygen air mixture until it could ignite solely from the collected atmospheric propellant. “This result means air-breathing electric propulsion is no longer simply a theory but a tangible, working concept...
... time in history it was a success! Brassica turned out to be more tolerant to higher ethylene concentrations in the station’s atmosphere and it produced viable seeds both in the first space generation and in re-seeding of those seeds in the space...
