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 NASA’s ...

UNDATED (WKRC) - NASA's James Webb space telescope has already given us multiple different glimpses into the many mysteries surrounding our universe, and now it's made another important discovery. For ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has just detected methane in the atmosphere of exoplanet WASP-80 b — and it has both little and everything to do with how we might someday find life in the cosmos ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has uncovered the presence of methane in the atmosphere of the exoplanet WASP-80 b as it transits in front of and behind its host star. While water vapor has been ...

One of the amazing abilities of the James Webb Space Telescope is not just detecting the presence of far-off planets, but also being able to peer into their atmospheres to see what they are composed ...

New research shows that atmospheric pressure fluctuations that pull gases up from underground could be responsible for releasing subsurface methane into Mars' atmosphere; knowing when and where to ...

A NASA-backed sampling system has registered a serious jump in atmospheric methane, adding a new worry for scientists monitoring greenhouse gas levels for their potential impact on global warming.

Methane is currently responsible for about one-third of global warming. This greenhouse gas is about 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide in terms of its ability to heat up the climate system, ...

NASA has reported that an official U.S. methane estimate is wrong. In a new satellite analysis, an international team of scientists found that methane emissions in the U.S. were higher in 2019 than ...
