‘Dancing snowflakes’ in clouds can help us accurately forecast rainfall

The dynamic way different-shaped snowflakes perform distinct ‘dances’ within clouds has been found to hugely influence how much precipitation forms and is likely to fall to Earth. The discovery of this unique cloud choreography has the potential to gui… Continue reading ‘Dancing snowflakes’ in clouds can help us accurately forecast rainfall

Watch: A year-long time lapse of Earth’s twilight zone

One picture taken every day of the year starting September 2023 through to September 2024 provides a pretty fascinating perspective of the twilight zone transit due to the Earth’s 23.5-degree axial tilt as it orbits around the Sun.Continue ReadingCateg… Continue reading Watch: A year-long time lapse of Earth’s twilight zone

Storm clouds generate strange gamma radiation

Thor and the Hulk may be more closely related than we thought. Thunderstorms are known to produce gamma rays in the atmosphere, but a new study has found that not only do they happen way more often than we realized, but they’re much weirder.Continue Re… Continue reading Storm clouds generate strange gamma radiation
