Clouds are important for the Earth's energy balance because they interact with radiation in different ways: On one hand, low clouds reflect incoming solar radiation and thus cool the Earth through a ...

Supercooling, a state where liquids don't solidify even below their normal freezing point, still puzzles scientists today. An example of this phenomenon is found everyday in meteorology: clouds in ...

A team of UC San Diego-led atmospheric chemistry researchers moved closer to what is considered the "holy grail" of climate change science when it made the first-ever direct detection of biological ...

Astronomers have observed thick, mineral-rich clouds, potentially containing iron, enveloping the young exoplanet YSES-1b, leading to the possibility of iron rain. The YSES-1 system, only a million ...

NASA scientists have identified an unexpected high-altitude methane ice cloud on Saturn's moon Titan that is similar to exotic clouds found far above Earth's poles. NASA scientists have identified an ...
