Atmospheric oxidation and the creation of modern Mars
Like Earth, Mars was formed about 4.5 billion years ago, but its early surface was very different than today's. Mars' surface then had high rates of meteorite and asteroid impacts from the period known as the Late Heavy Bombardment. But whereas today.....»»
Atmospheric rivers are shifting poleward, reshaping global weather patterns
Atmospheric rivers—those long, narrow bands of water vapor in the sky that bring heavy rain and storms to the U.S. West Coast and many other regions—are shifting toward higher latitudes, and that's changing weather patterns around the world......»»

Elon Musk reveals Hollywood vision for Tesla, but new budget model is a no-show
Musk presented an autonomous Cybercab for 2026 then a futuristic Robovan, but investors want to see a budget $25,000 EV that Tesla could start selling next year to boost volume......»»
A geomagnetic storm is hitting the northern part of the US. Here"s how the solar event may impact you
Warnings about Hurricane Milton hitting Florida have dominated news reports this week. But there have been warnings from forecasters with the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Space Weather Prediction Center about another storm b.....»»
Machine learning could improve extreme weather warnings
Because small changes in atmospheric and surface conditions can have large, difficult-to-predict effects on future weather, traditional weather forecasts are released only about 10 days in advance. A longer lead time could help communities better pre.....»»
