Sure, you can plant a tree, but Vitry said that doesn’t stop your flight’s emissions from entering the atmosphere. The tree may eventually absorb an equivalent amount of emissions. Or it may die. Or ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has, for the first time, measured the carbon-rich concoction that forms a moon-forming disk of gas and dust around a newly formed planetary body. It is hoped the ...

The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has provided the first direct measurements of the chemical and physical properties of a potential moon-forming disk encircling a large exoplanet. The carbon ...

World leaders have spent the past week at the United Nations doing just that, convening at its grandiloquent headquarters to tell each other — and those who administer the planet's most prominent ...

Or, maybe you're an environmentally minded person, and you've heard you can buy these things called carbon offsets. A roundtrip flight from New York to Los Angeles emits more than 1,300 pounds (about ...

Edgar once designed science experiments for astronauts to perform. Now she'll be the astronaut performing them.

Thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope, we’ve just taken the first-ever look at the chemical ingredients inside a moon-forming disk around a distant world called CT Cha b — 625 light-years away.

This video explains why planets in our solar system orbit in nearly the same plane, tracing their origins back to a rotating protoplanetary disc of dust and gas that formed around the young Sun. It ...

Many planetary systems are born in slightly tilted protoplanetary disks, which would explain the misaligned orbits from the outset.

The official number of exoplanets—planets outside our solar system—tracked by NASA has reached 6,000. Confirmed planets are added to the count on a rolling basis by scientists from around the world, ...

Andrew Winter's team at Queen Mary University of London analyzed fifteen disks around young stars. They used the ALMA array to measure Doppler shifts of carbon monoxide. This technique reveals the ...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Environmental Protection Agency was already reeling from massive stuff cuts and dramatic shifts in priority and policy. A government shutdown raises new questions about how it ...
