NASA’s AWE mission just released millions of gravity wave images from space, unveiling atmospheric forces that ripple through ...

Scientists have created a new 3D map of "mega ripples" on the seafloor caused by the Chicxulub asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs. The study, published in the journal Marine Geology, reveals ...

The six-mile-wide asteroid punched a one-way ticket toward extinction for all non-avian dinosaurs. Some 66 million years ...

They’re waves that form when air rises and falls because of buoyancy. Think of them as ripples in the atmosphere. On Earth, we see their effects in cloud patterns that look like ripples on water.

The researchers examined 263 groups of atmospheric waves and conducted a detailed analysis of 125 of them. Three major phenomena were studied: dry ice waves, water waves, and dust storms.

Small stars that are far away tend to be faint and hard to see. De Ruiter and her colleagues used the Multiple Mirror ...

Big waves from hurricanes like Irene in 2011 or Superstorm Sandy last October or even nor’easters like one that lingered in ...

which are ripples in spacetime caused by violent cosmic events. Atmospheric gravity waves, on the other hand, are a phenomenon localized to a planet's atmosphere. Their study is important for ...
