SpaceX is moving away from traditional rocket fuels like kerosene and liquid hydrogen in favor of methane. The choice is ...

An artist’s rendering of the warm exoplanet WASP-80 b whose color may appear bluish to human eyes due to the lack of high-altitude clouds and the presence of atmospheric methane identified by ...

What is the color of the sun? The sun's color is actually white, and here's why elements on Earth alter it's color.

For 10,000 years, the concentration of methane in Earth’s atmosphere hovered below 750 parts per billion, or ppb. It began rising in the 19th century and continued to climb until the mid-1990s.

One study focused on the methane and the other looked at the organics. In the first paper, a team analyzed three Mars years worth (55 Earth months) of atmospheric data from Curiosity.

Methane (CH 4) is a potent greenhouse gas. Although it is short-lived compared to carbon dioxide (methane stays in the atmosphere for about seven to ten years, while carbon dioxide can remain for over ...

There's not that much methane in the atmosphere—about 1,800 parts per billion, about as much as two cups of water inside a swimming pool. That’s about 200 times less concentrated in the ...

The amount of methane in the atmosphere has spiked to historic highs and is increasing at its fastest recorded rate, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The ...

Methane is relatively scarce: carbon dioxide is about 200 times more concentrated in the atmosphere. Nevertheless, it has contributed around 30% of total global warming to date, or about 0.5 ˚C ...
