Here’s how it works. Earth's thermosphere recently hit a near 20-year temperature peak after soaking up energy from geomagnetic storms that bashed Earth this year. The temperature in the second ...

The data, from NASA's TIMED mission, show that Earth's thermosphere (the layer above 62 miles or 100 km above the Earth's surface) "responds quite dramatically to the effects of the 11-year solar ...

"Thermosphere temperature range: 500-2,000℃," reads the post. It then lists purported melting points for metals − such as aluminum, steel and titanium − that melt at temperatures less than ...

Unlike the name suggests, this could cause an outer layer of the atmosphere called the thermosphere to contract — and it’s not entirely clear what the effects of this could be on our planet.

An upper layer of Earth's atmosphere recently collapsed in anunexpectedly large contraction, the sheer size of which has scientistsscratching their heads, NASA announced Thursday. The layer of gas ?

Here we report the existence of non-thermal hydrogen atoms that are much hotter than the ambient oxygen atoms in the upper thermosphere. Analysis of satellite measurements indicates that the upper ...

The Qb-50 project will launch 50 mini-satellites, or CubeSats, from the International Space Station into the little-understood thermosphere. The project involves 28 different countries and has ...

One Instagram post says satellites are a myth and that it is “simply not possible” for them to survive in the thermosphere (), which can reach up to 4,500 degrees Fahrenheit (2,482 degrees ...
