The International Space Station is an engineering feat that has led to countless scientific discoveries. Like the thousands of satellites in orbit, it manages to stay up in the atmosphere.

A powerful storm hitting the West Coast combines these phenomena for a wet week of erratic weather, as a meteorologist explains.

A powerful storm hitting the West Coast combines these weather phenomena for a wet week in many areas. But forecasting exactly which areas will get hit hardest is tough, as a meteorologist explains.

These powerful ‘rivers in the sky’ provide a huge share of annual precipitation in many regions, including California. They can also melt sea ice, with global climate implications.

Milton’s fast spin-up in the Gulf of Mexico was one of the most rapid intensifications on record. Two scientists who study hurricanes explain why this happens and what’s changing.

Before sending humans to Mars, NASA will first return humans to the Moon’s surface to test its technology and train astronauts.

Helene’s size and speed worsened everything from its storm surge to its extreme flooding in the mountains. And another hurricane was coming right on Helene’s heels.

As a record-hot summer comes to a close, an atmospheric scientist explains how global warming drove long periods of extreme heat.

It’s rare to see both Nina’s at the same time, but both appeared to be developing in August 2024. That could help soften hurricane season, but don’t bet on it.

But this is no long-term solution for storing carbon.
