Far from the warmth of the Sun, some of the coldest-looking worlds in the solar system may be hiding the hottest surprises.

An illustration of Mimas’s ice shell evolution, in which the changes in ice shell thickness (y-axis) lag behind the eccentricity decay (inverted x-axis). Time increases to the right of the plot, while ...

Professor John Chiang of UC Berkeley explains the impact of Earth's axial tilt and orbital eccentricity on global climate. He highlights their influence on seasonal variations, including monsoon ...

This artist’s impression shows a Jupiter-like exoplanet that is on its way to becoming a hot Jupiter — a large, Jupiter-like exoplanet that orbits very close to its star. NOIRLab/NSF/AURA/J. da Silva ...

A passing star which blew past our solar system nearly 3 million years ago could have altered the Earth’s orbit, researchers found. The study, published last week in the journal The Astrophysical ...

The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), a period of rapid warming 56 million years ago, saw temperatures increase by approximately 5 degrees Celsius over a few thousand years, resulting in ...
