Lemon-shaped exoplanet challenges planet formation theory
Astronomers spotted an object that looks like a planet, weighs about as much as Jupiter, and yet behaves like nothing anyone has seen before.
This strange world sits dangerously close to a dead star. Its air is filled with carbon instead of water…

The Doomsday Glacier Flunks 2025 Checkup
Thwaites, the most studied glacier in the world, commands attention because it is not only the widest in the world at 80 miles but also the shakiest. And its nickname “The Doomsday Glacier” certainly sets it apart from the 500 other…

Scientists found climate change hidden in old military air samples
By examining DNA preserved in decades-old air samples collected by the Swedish Armed Forces, scientists at Lund University in Sweden have uncovered clear evidence that the seasonal release of spores by northern mosses has changed dramatically…

A Planet Made of Lava and Steam? Webb Finds a Rocky World That Breaks the Rules
Astronomers studying an ultra-hot planet beyond our solar system have found something they did not expect: a thick atmosphere clinging to a world that should have lost it long ago.
Using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, researchers observed

Power outage in Boulder area affects atomic clock, “Time is not broken” NIST says
In advance of hurricane force winds moving into Colorado earlier this week, Xcel Energy preemptively shut off power to protect areas of the state from extreme fire danger. But due to the outage, time (very) briefly stood still at the NIST…
