Explore how satellites measure CO₂ levels and their role in tracking heat absorption in Earth’s atmosphere. This video ...

The NASA/ESA Cassini-Huygens mission explored Saturn and its moons from 2004 to 2017, providing the most detailed images and data on the system ever taken. This included Saturn's largest moon, Titan, ...

By Muhammad OsamaReviewed by Frances BriggsJun 26 2025 Researchers have discovered that the primary cause of surface wrinkling in plasma-oxidized PDMS films is water vapor absorption, not thermal ...

Exoplanetary absorption spectra is taken by observing that the apparent size of the exoplanet varies with the (infrared) wavelength measured. This can reveal the atmospheric content of the exoplanet ...

In their study, Dr. Silva and his colleagues analyzed high resolution visible spectra of Titan obtained with the UVES high-resolution visible and ultraviolet spectrograph on ESO’s Very Large Telescope ...

Today, we can best infer an exoplanet’s chemical composition by transit spectroscopy: When a planet passes in front of its star, as seen from Earth, the planet’s atmosphere absorbs some of its ...

The measured transit spectrum (top) and eclipse spectrum (bottom) of WASP-80 b from NIRCam’s slitless spectroscopy mode on NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. In both spectra, there is clear evidence ...

The James Webb Space Telescope observed the exoplanet WASP-80 b as it passed in front of and behind its host star, revealing spectra indicative of an atmosphere containing methane gas and water vapor.

The Venus emissions was measured in a narrow frequency range around 4.74 terahertz (black line), which corresponds to a wavelength of 63.2 micrometers. The atomic oxygen in Venus’ atmosphere absorbs ...
