Earth's protective atmosphere has sheltered life for billions of years, creating a haven where evolution produced complex lifeforms like us. The ozone layer plays a critical role in shielding the ...

New research reduces uncertainty in future climate change linked to the stratosphere, with important implications for life on Earth. A significant source of uncertainty relates to future changes to ...

A tiny asteroid named CERNQ52 entered Earth’s atmosphere over the Indian Ocean after being detected only hours earlier.

Researchers have created a dataset of the whole atmosphere, enabling new research to be conducted on previously difficult-to-study regions. Using a new data-assimilation system called JAGUAR-DAS, ...

SSC Space has reached 700 stratospheric balloon launches from Esrange. The latest, Keystone TV BALLET, carried terahertz and ...

At first listen, Earth’s stratosphere seems calm and quiet. But when researchers launched solar-powered balloons up 70,000 feet, they detected a hidden acoustic world — including mysterious noises ...

Giant solar balloons were sent 70,000 feet up in the air to record sounds of Earth’s stratosphere — and the microphones picked up some unexpected sounds. The stratosphere is the second layer of ...

The outermost part of our planet’s atmosphere extends well beyond the lunar orbit – almost twice the distance to the Moon. A recent discovery based on observations by the ESA/NASA Solar and ...

Researchers have found that greenhouse gas emissions are altering the structure of our atmosphere, causing the stratosphere to shrink by over 400 metres since 1980. Earth's atmosphere is arranged like ...
