Postdoctoral researcher Abhi Doddi is collecting scientific data outdoors in a 70 mph whiteout blizzard. It is just another day of life in Antarctica.
On June 25, the last instrument in a series designed and built in Colorado, is scheduled to launch aboard an orbiting satellite. It's part of a program that spots flares leaping out from around the sun before they can cause trouble on Earth.
Light pollution from streetlights and other sources is making dark skies harder to find. CU Boulder astronomer Erica Ellingson gives her take on where you can still go in Colorado to see brilliant displays of stars.
Odysseus, a tenacious lander built by the company Intuitive Machines, almost didn't make it to the moon. But an experiment aboard the spacecraft managed to capture an image of Earth as it might look to observers on a planet far from our own.
A team of industry partners and CU Boulder researchers, including the lab of Hanspeter Schaub, is trying to make it easier to dock with satellites orbiting Earth.
In 1612, astronomer Galileo Galilei observed dark splotches can sunspots moving across the face of the sun. A new study could reveal the engine that drives these cloudy features, and much of the sun's volatile activity.
The Committee on Space Research has for the first time designated CU Boulder’s Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics a center of excellence for capacity-building in CubeSat technologies.
Khosro Ghobadi-Far is advancing the science of climate change with orbiting satellites through an $800,000 NASA grant.
In results reported in a new paper, graduate student Tatsuya Akiba with JILA Fellow and Professor Ann-Marie Madigan and undergraduate student Selah McIntyre believe they’ve found a reason why these stellar zombies eat their nearby planetesimals.
Billions of years ago, Venus may have held as much water as Earth. Now, it harbors 100,000 times less water than our planet. A new study from planetary scientists at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) dives into how that water disappeared.
