“Wildlife species have evolved on this planet with biological rhythms — changing that has profound effects,” said Travis Longcore, a biogeographer with the Urban Wildlands Group in Los Angeles, US. A lack of darkness at night can also cause difficulties for animals in other ways.Newly ...
One occurs only on the planet's dayside, another is a widespread nighttime feature fueled by strong solar storms and another is a much patchier nightside phenomenon. A composite image of Jupiter taken by Webb's NIRCam, showing the planet's rings and two of its moons, Amalthea and Adrastea...
At one point in the spectacular IMAX documentary “Aliens of the Deep”, director James Cameron says of life at hydrothermal vents: “That party’s been going on down there in the dark for the past billion years… the Sun could go out tomorrow, and they wouldn’t know, and they wouldn...

was first thought as a plane falling from the sky. As it got closer we noticed that there was no sound and thought it was going to crash on our car (killing us) when this cigar shaped object stopped in mid air about 2 football fields away and slowly started flying away," they ...
This is based on worldwide measurements of the deviation in the horizontal component of Earth’s magnetic field. Put simply, how far south we can actually see the lights. The scale goes from 0 (only directly under the oval) to 9 (latitudes as low as southern US states and the ...
Already, astronomers have successfully found intriguing chemical reactions on a planet 700 light-years away, and as described above, the observatory has started looking at one of the most anticipated places in the cosmos: the rocky, Earth-sized planets of the TRAPPIST solar system. ...
Yes, you certainly can. Thanks to low levels of light pollution, plus a remote location and an incredibly low population density, Greenland is generally regarded as one of the best places on the planet to get a good view of the amazing aurora borealis. ...
Jupiter's northern and southern aurorasJupiter's northern and southern auroras, as observed by the Hubble Space Telescope. The auroras are produced by the interaction of the planet's powerful magnetic field and particles in its upper atmosphere.(more) In addition to Earth, other planets in the ...
A series of solar flares and coronal mass ejections have created dazzling auroras that may be seen as far south as Alabama and Northern California — but could also disrupt communications on Earth over the weekend. Increased solar activity causes auroras that dance around Earth’s poles, known ...
