The ozone layer is a part of Earth’s atmosphere that captures some of the Sun’s ultraviolet (UV) light emissions. When the ozone layer is compromised, its ability to absorb radiation weakens, allowing ...

Ozone may be weakening one of the Earth’s most important cooling mechanisms, making it a more significant greenhouse gas than previously thought, research has found. A new study has revealed that ...

Ozone is a chemical compound consisting of three Oxygen atoms (O 3). The Oxygen we breathe is made of two atoms (O 2). Ozone is primarily found in the Ozone Layer in the stratosphere, however, it can ...

Just a few decades ago, the sky above Antarctica became a symbol of environmental crisis. Scientists had discovered a massive hole in the ozone layer-a protective shield in Earth's atmosphere that ...

Measurements from the Copernicus Sentinel-5P satellite show that this year’s ozone hole over Antarctica is one of the biggest on record. The hole, which is what scientists call an ‘ozone depleting ...

A new study suggests that explosive events in space have the potential to temporarily switch off the natural shield that protects us from harmful solar radiation. By Katrina Miller On Oct. 9, 2022, ...

Cathy Clerbaux has received funding from CNES (Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales, France) and the European H2020 program (ERC-advanced IASI-FT) to finance her team's research work. On 9 January 2023, ...

NASA and NOAA teams reported an annual maximum of 8.83 million square miles on September 9. They said this made it the fifth ...

A new paper claims that the ozone hole above Antarctica is getting deeper, suggesting that it is not healing as expected. However, other researchers say the study's results are misleading. When you ...

For years, the main way of cleaning up space junk and retired satellites has been to let them burn up as they reenter Earth's atmosphere. For the most part, scientists have always assumed it was ...
