A new study reveals that tiny fragments of Earth's atmosphere are transported to and absorbed by the moon via gusts of solar ...

Tiny bits of Earth’s atmosphere have been drifting to the moon for billions of years, guided by Earth’s magnetic field.

Earth may have helped give rise to water on the moon while shielding it from solar winds. This defies a leading theory suggesting the moon needs solar radiation to make water. Understanding how water ...

NASA’s Carruthers mission will film Earth’s elusive exosphere to understand space weather, atmospheric escape, and planetary habitability. A NASA mission aims to photograph a feature of Earth that is ...

A team of scientists led by the University of Colorado Boulder has discovered an invisible “Star Trek”-style shield that blocks so-called “killer electrons” 7,200 miles above Earth. The electrons, ...

A team led by professors and scientists from the University of Colorado at Boulder have discovered an invisible shield in space that blocks Earth from so-called “killer electrons,” according to ...

Cosmic “touchdown airbursts” — explosions of comets or asteroids above Earth’s surface — may be far more common and destructive than previously thought, according to new research. Unlike ...

NASA has turned its attention to a ghostly shroud of hydrogen that stretches far beyond the familiar blue edge of our planet, ...

NASA's Carruthers Geocorona Observatory has captured its first images from space, revealing Earth surrounded by a glowing crown of hydrogen gas invisible to the naked eye, the agency said Tuesday. The ...

A team led by the University of Colorado Boulder has discovered an invisible shield some 7,200 miles above Earth that blocks so-called “killer electrons,” which whip around the planet at near-light ...
