The Multiscale Physics of Clouds Across Planetary Atmospheres collaboration, funded by the Simons Foundation, is seeking 8 postdoctoral researchers to develop new approaches to understanding clouds ac...

Brown dwarf variability directly probes atmospheric dynamics beyond the Solar System, and recent JWST time-resolved spectroscopy has opened a new window into these processes. Principal component analy...

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) proposes to revise the Guidance for Federal Financial Assistance to improve government- wide policies and requirements related to the management of grants, co...

A model of the early Solar System that cools too quickly to reach chemical equilibrium generates mineral regimes resembling important classes of meteorites.

Updates and actions on the proposed cuts to NASA science in FY 2027.

NIST promotes U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards, and technology in ways that enhance economic security and improve our quality of life

An unusual cosmic object is helping scientists better understand the chemistry hidden deep in Jupiter and Saturn’s atmospheres — and potentially those of exoplanets.

Over millennia, our view of the stars has shifted, because of Earth’s wobble. It may be time to rethink your sign.

Teasing the public with fraudulent or self-deluded promises of aliens used to mean something. It took work. It meant slapping together…

A half-century ago, aviation pioneer and former WashU board chair James S. McDonnell announced a $4 million gift (worth nearly $26 million today) to create the McDonnell Center for the Space Sciences ...

Dear Mr. RFK Jr., (The “dear” is tradition. Don’t mistake it for affection.) You said autistic children are a burden. That they ruin families. That...

To aid the interpretation of observations of substellar atmospheres, Mukherjee et al. (2024) created the Sonora Elf Owl grid of model atmospheres, simulations that accounted for disequilibrium quench ...

Atomic spectroscopy helps to bring us many things we use every day, but without updated information, it would be harder for scientists and experts to create these things. That’s where a NIST atomic sp...

The JWST Weather Report from the Isolated Exoplanet Analog SIMP 0136+0933: Pressure-dependent Variability Driven by Multiple Mechanisms, McCarthy, Allison M., Vos, Johanna M., Muirhead, Philip S., Bil...
