The planet, VHS 1256 b, is a gas giant around 40 light years away from Earth. It has water, carbon dioxide and methane in its swirling silicate dust clouds.

We have found over 5,000 exoplanets so far outside of our solar system, and the James Webb Telescope will help scientists find planets with atmospheres.

These strange clouds come in either open-cell or closed-cell forms, which differ in their longevity and amount of rain produced.

"I opened the door of the room and saw this show in the sky," photographer Rebecca Paviola told Newsweek. "It looked like a painting!"

Witnesses saw a meteorite crashing through the sky at around the same time that Dustin Procita's house caught fire, but experts told Newsweek they're skeptical.

The core booster from China's Long March 5B rocket, delivering the final piece of the Tiangong space station, will crash-land in an uncontrolled reentry.

The Taurid swarm crosses Earth's orbit once every few years, causing higher numbers of meteors to burn up in Earth's atmosphere.

Scientists have predicted that the soot ejected into the atmosphere during a nuclear war could cause worldwide famines due to reduced crop growth.

Aerosols released by the Hunga Tonga volcanic eruption in January could be the culprit for the rosy hues.

Scientists say the rapid rise in atmospheric methane has significant implications because it is a potent greenhouse gas and can contribute to global warming.

"To be honest I was a little bit scared at first, I didn't know what was going on," Argenis Irizarry told Newsweek

NOAA report finds 2021 had the biggest annual increase in atmospheric methane levels since records began.

"That's probably one of the best photos of light pillars I've ever seen," said northern lights photographer Justin Anderson.

Similar halos are also sometimes seen around the sun.

The South Atlantic Anomaly was discovered in the 1950s and appears to be splitting into two patches.

Noctilucent" clouds are the highest clouds in the Earth's atmosphere.

The atmospheric region above the Southern Ocean was found to be free from anthropogenic particles.

Most electrical activity in vertebrates and invertebrates occurs at extremely low frequencies, but the reasons for this have long remained a mystery.

The hole stretches from Hudson Bay all the way to Russia's Arctic islands.

The "dunes" can be found at an altitude of around 62 miles in the upper part of an atmospheric layer known as the mesosphere.

Since September last year, hundreds of fires have burned millions of hectares in Australia, leaving at least 28 people dead.

The Amazon rainforest is important to the global climate because of its role in storing vast amounts of carbon dioxide.

The unusual phenomenon was generated by thunderstorms in the Australian region.

Scientists at the EU's Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service who track the size of the ozone hole in the Antarctic reported that it is expected to be atypically small this year.

NASA's Image of the Day shows an interesting circular cloud formation, taken above the Pacific Ocean on April 4, 2019 by an astronaut in the ISS.

Scientists use measurements taken 20 years ago to find the atmosphere reaches almost 400,000 miles into space.

The strength of our planet's magnetic field was 10 times lower than it is today.

The control over the ionosphere has become an ambitious project for some military forces.

Polar mesospheric clouds form as ice crystals on the remnants of meteors in the upper atmosphere.

The gases are warming the atmosphere.
