Atmospheres — do Earth-like alien planets have them or not? This is the killer question currently facing astronomers. In this context, “Earth-like” means terrestrial (i.e. rocky worlds) planets close enough to Earth’s mass and other conditions that we might imagine them hosting the holy grail of astrobiology: an alien biosphere. But you can’t have a biosphere unless you first have an atmosphere for all that life to breathe. And while finding signatures of biospheres (i.e. biosignatures) is going...

After a year of record-breaking global heat with El Nino, will La Nina bring a reprieve? That depends on where you live and how you feel about hurricanes.
Experts issue warning after finding global average concentration in March was 4.7ppm higher than same period last yearThe largest ever recorded leap in the amount of carbon dioxide laden in the world’s atmosphere has just occurred, according to researchers who monitor the relentless accumulation of the primary gas that is heating the planet.The global average concentration of carbon dioxide in March this year was 4.7 parts per million (or ppm) higher than it it was in March last year, which is a...
Scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope have found an exoplanet blanketed in either carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide just 41 light-years away.
Researchers using NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope may have detected an atmosphere surrounding 55 Cancri e, a rocky exoplanet 41 light-years from Earth. This is the best evidence to date for a rocky planet atmosphere outside our solar system. Brice-Olivier Demory, Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Bern and member of the the National Centre of Competence in Research (NCCR) PlanetS, was part of the international research team that just published the results in Nature.

Data shown by the Keeling Curve is based on continuous measurements taken at the Mauna Loa Observatory on the island of Hawaii, from 1958 toRead Entire Article
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – A team of researchers, including from the University of New Mexico, recently published their findings that hypothesize for the first time there may be evidence a rocky planet contains an atmosphere. The exoplanet 55 Cancri e, which is 41 light years away from earth, orbits a start similar to the sun. The []
