NASA's ER-2 aircraft, as part of the ALOFT project, investigated lightning and related energy fields in the atmosphere in July 2023. This research aims to deepen our understanding of gamma-ray flashes in thunderclouds and will influence future space-based lightning mapping technologies. Throughou
NASA is preparing to launch the ComPair balloon-borne science instrument from Fort Sumner, New Mexico.
Astrophysicists reveal the sun is beaming down gamma rays with energies higher than ever measured. The gamma rays lose energy in Earth’s atmosphere, meaning they don’t present a concern to life. This also allows them to be discovered by researchers working with the High-Altitude Water Cherenkov
East Lansing MI (SPX) Aug 04, 2023 - Sometimes, the best place to hide a secret is in broad daylight. Just ask the sun. The sun is more surprising than we knew, said Mehr Un Nisa, a postdoctoral research associate at Michigan S
