A new computational model suggests that Uranus' and Neptune's cores may be less icy than their "ice giant" nickname suggests.

However, the open-source project isn’t about bragging rights. With over 2.75 billion buildings detailed in the map, the ...

For the first time, researchers have created a detailed three dimensional map of virtually every building on the planet, ...

Abstract: Early warning systems and emergency management for disasters, environmental pollution, and illegal development require timely and accurate Earth surface anomaly detection (ESAD). Remote ...

From mudstones on Mars to strange gases in exoplanet atmospheres, tentative evidence for extraterrestrial life is starting to ...

Abstract: We present the design and scalable implementation of an exascale climate emulator for addressing the escalating computational and storage requirements of high-resolution Earth System Model ...

Our sun is about halfway through its life, which means Earth is as well. After a star exhausts its hydrogen nuclear fuel, its diameter expands more than a hundredfold, engulfing any unlucky planets in ...

Far beyond the reach of any probe, astronomers have found a gas giant whose atmosphere behaves less like a familiar planet and more like a special effect from a big-budget space epic. Orbiting a ...

For most of human history, maps have flattened the world. Cities appeared as outlines, buildings as blocks of colour, and entire neighbourhoods were reduced to symbols on paper or screens. That ...

NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) officially went into service above the Red Planet in November 2006. The spacecraft ...

About 880 light-years from Earth, a hot mess of an exoplanet is slowly spilling its atmosphere into space, creating two ...

Scientists have produced the most detailed 3D map of almost all buildings in the world. The map, called GlobalBuildingAtlas, combines satellite imagery and machine learning to generate 3D models for ...
