"It's a remarkable and fortuitous opportunity to understand terrestrial planet interiors," he added. The Penn State team trained JWST's spectrograph at K2-22, a star discovered by the Kepler ...

A new climate modeling study published in the journal Science Advances by researchers from the IBS Center for Climate Physics ...

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 ...

A recently released animation shows a new look at a large asteroid that has a small, but significant chance of impacting planet Earth in 7 years. The animation, provided by the NASA-funded ...
