Earth system models (ESMs) help us understand climate and environmental changes. With advances in computing power, ESMs can now be run at kilometer-scale (k-scale) resolutions, capturing very fine details to better predict extreme weather and understand...
A vast, flat, "featureless" plain on Mars surprised researchers by revealing a much more tumultuous geologic past than expected, according to a study led...
Scientists have discovered a simple and reliable test for signs of past or present life on other planets—"the holy grail of astrobiology."
In the journal Proceedings...
A spectacular new image released today by the European Southern Observatory gives us clues about how planets as massive as Jupiter could form. Using...
