Water Vapor is Detected on a Tiny Exoplanet by Hubble!
Scientists using the Hubble Space Telescope have discovered water vapor in the atmosphere of GJ 9827d, the smallest exoplanet observed to date with such a finding. Measuring only about twice the size of Earth, this planet hints at the possibility of water-rich atmospheres on other worlds in our galaxy.
How Marine Bacteria and Atmospheric Rivers Help Create Ice Clouds?
To comprehend the process of cloud formation in polar regions, gaining insights into the impact of solar radiation on polar ice caps is crucial. Unfortunately, current numerical models face challenges in accurately simulating ice clouds. A recent study by Japanese researchers addresses this issue by leveraging real-world observations and climate data. Their findings reveal that marine bioaerosols, transported by streams of warm, moisture-laden air from higher latitudes, play a significant role in the formation of ice clouds over the high latitude region of the Southern Ocean.
