Mercury’s exosphere, a tenuous envelope where collisions between particles are rare, offers unique insights into surface–space interactions and the dynamic processes that govern atmospheric evolution.

NASA’s Carruthers mission will film Earth’s elusive exosphere to understand space weather, atmospheric escape, and planetary habitability. A NASA mission aims to photograph a feature of Earth that is ...

The Sphere is ready to celebrate the one-year anniversary of its outer shell, the Exosphere, with the same level of extravagance and creativity that people have come to expect from the Las Vegas ...

The moon may not have any breathable air, but that doesn't mean it has no atmosphere. Astronomers have for decades been aware of the delicate atmosphere surrounding the moon that is so thin and ...

An innovative, relatively low-cost spacecraft perched atop a five-stage booster making its maiden flight is poised for launch from the Virginia coast late Friday on a mission to study the moon's ultra ...

The lunar exosphere, bounded by the emptiness of space and the Moon’s surface, is an atmosphere so thin that atoms rarely collide. This environment, primarily made up of neutral atoms and molecules, ...

NASA’s Carruthers Geocorona Observatory, a groundbreaking mission, is set to provide new insights into the outermost layer of ...

Using a cutting-edge magnetic wave detection technique, a new study in Nature Communications has identified lithium in Mercury's exosphere for the first time. Mercury's exosphere is a fragile ...

Several decades ago scientists discovered that the Moon, long thought to have no atmosphere, actually does have an extremely thin exosphere. Scientists generally believe that the ions that make up the ...

Years back, planetary scientists discovered that the Moon, long thought to have no atmosphere, actually has an extremely thin exosphere. But, they have been uncertain about how it gets the layer. Now, ...
