A dramatic spike in atmospheric methane over the past 16 years may be a sign that Earth's climate could flip within decades, scientists have warned. Large amounts of methane wafting from tropical ...

Arguably the most fascinating moon in the Solar System is the Saturn satellite Titan, which has the only known body with liquid seas and rivers (of methane) on its surface. A new study suggests that ...

Icy chunks of frozen methane and water are not responsible for the periodic increases in atmospheric methane recorded in Greenland ice cores, according to a Penn State geoscientist. The ice core ...

The ice-covered Arctic Ocean is a more important factor concerning the concentration of the greenhouse gas methane in the atmosphere than previously assumed. Experts from the Alfred Wegener Institute, ...

Ice bubbles are trapped pockets of gas, often methane, frozen layer by layer in clear lake ice, creating striking, stacked ...

Because Uranus and Neptune are so far away, scientists only have educated guesses about the combination of ices and gases that make up these ice giants. While the general understanding is that these ...

For years, astronomers believed that Makemake, one of the brightest icy bodies beyond Neptune, was a frozen relic of the outer solar system. New observations from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope ...
