We study the ~4.5 billion year history of the terrestrial planets of our solar system, from the stellar synthesis of the elements of which they comprise through their accretion and re-organisation by ...

Astronomers have made an extraordinary discovery—for the first time, scientists have directly observed two alien planets disintegrating before our eyes. These exoplanets, orbiting different stars, are ...

(Here's how you can see it for yourself tonight). While spacecraft, such as NASA's Voyager 1, have snapped all the planets in ...

Our research interests have been primarily in understanding the physical processes that control the evolution of terrestrial planets (Earth, Moon, Mars, ...). Modern space exploration has provided ...

My research focuses on terrestrial planets and moons. I am particularly interested in polar ice caps and their interactions with planetary atmospheres. For example, the polar deposits of Mars record ...

The biome concept organizes large-scale ecological variation. Terrestrial biomes are distinguished primarily by their predominant vegetation, and are mainly determined by temperature and rainfall.

Along the way, this vapor disk encounters the inner planets, immersing them in a kind of "bath." In a way, the disk "waters" the terrestrial planets: Mars, Earth, Venus and Mercury. Most of this ...

Watch this video to find out more about the Earth, planets in our Solar System and other planets far off in outer space. From up here on the International Space Station I get a great view of Earth.

In world-first observations, the James Webb Space Telescope is watching two distant alien planets "spilling their guts into space" as they rapidly disintegrate — and scientists are elated at what they ...

Seven planets will line up for a rare "planetary parade" today (Feb. 28) and you can watch it live online, beginning at 12:00 p.m. ET (1700 GMT).

Recent advances in astronomical observations have found a significant number of extrasolar planets that can sustain surface water, and the search for extraterrestrial life on such planets is gaining ...
