Scientists have calculated the rotational speed of asteroid 2024 BX1, which exploded over Berlin earlier this year, by letting it trail in images of the sky. It turns out, 2024 BX1 was spinning faster than any other near-Earth object ever seen.

The atmospheric temperature spike, which was caused by geomagnetic storms triggered by the sun, suggests the "solar maximum" is fast approaching.

Stars appear to twinkle because the light from these distant objects passes through wobbly air in the atmosphere.

It is only the fifth time that an asteroid has been detected prior to hitting Earth.

Efforts to heal the hole in Earth's ozone layer over Antarctica appear to be paying off, according to a first-of-its-kind study that looked directly at ozone-destroying chemicals in the atmosphere.

The mysterious disappearance of electrons in the atmosphere could be caused by meteors burning up in the sky, new research suggests.

Advanced cameras helped scientists spot the phenomenon.

More water than expected enters stratosphere, where it's a potent greenhouse gas.

Remote-controlled plane will ply the tropopause to study ozone chemistry.
