NASA's new study shows that updrafts are more important than previously understood in determining what makes clouds produce drizzle.
Scientists from NASA's Jet Propulsion, UCLA and the University of Tokyo have found that low-lying clouds over the ocean produce more drizzle droplets than the same type of cloud over land.
According to the study, water droplets in clouds initially form on microscopic...
Nidhogg 2 will be available for PS4 on August 15, developer Messhof has announced. Studio co-founder and creative director Mark Essen confirmed the news in a post on the PlayStation Blog, where he also said preorders will begin on July 18.
Although Messhof has previously said Nidhogg 2 is also coming to PC in "summer 2017," a specific date has not yet been revealed. It is...
Deflecting the course of an asteroid has always been a topic of discussion among the space scientists. After a well known study about the impact of asteroids, conducted under the mission named ‘Asteroid Impact and Deflection Assessment’, the news about NASA's new mission is spreading like wildfire.
'DART', NASA's new mission assisted by its Planetary Defense Coordination Office (PDCO) will change the path...
Moon will rule over the month of July, and two meteor showers will visit us on a single day. August will have a solar eclipse.
In this month, we will get to see all the moon's phases beginning on July 1st. The first quarter moon will rise at noon and set at midnight. Through binoculars one can see craters and some...
With increase in the earth's temperature, all that one faces is hot year with a little shower. NASA's new study gets rid of this disappointment. The study suggests that the future may be rainier than expected.
The new study, published under the title, "Tightening of Tropical Ascent and High Clouds Key to Precipitation Change in a Warmer Climate", in the...
This June, several celestial bodies will visit the sky. While some stay throughout the month, some may give a guest appearance.
The ring planet and the giant one will visit the earth this month. For star gazers the best time to view both these planets together, will be a few hours after Saturn rises at sunset, and before Jupiter sets.
Jupiter...
Recent research from NASA's Cassini mission has given a new insight on Enceladus, Saturn's icy, ocean-bearing moon. Researchers have found evidence that the moon's spin axis has reoriented.
Examining the moon's features, the team showed that Enceladus appears to have tipped away from its original axis by about 55 degrees. This is more than halfway toward rolling completely onto its...
Space exploration was indeed a great breakthrough in the world of astronomy. NASA is all set to send its probe to the Sun which will take the world of astronomy and physics to the next higher level.
First of its kind, this mission to a star will launch in 2018. NASA has renamed the mission "Solar Probe Plus" spacecraft as...
New study by three scientists from NASA finds yet another cause of glacier meltdown. The finding suggests that the ice in Rink Glacier, Greenland, didn't just melt faster than usual, it slid through the glacier's interior in a gigantic wave. This is similar to a warmed freezer pop sliding out of its plastic casing.
The study's initial aim, to precisely track a glacier's loss of...
NASA's Juno has brought all cheers to the Juno team. Although been a long time since it has made any news, the news it has brought is really appreciated.
Juno mission accomplished a close flyby of Jupiter on May 19. This marks the success as it was the fifth science flyby of the mission. It completed its fifth science orbit.
