Update: Syracuse reached 90 degrees this afternoon, making it the eighth day this month to reach that mark. Syracuse, N.Y. — Central New York has been much hotter and drier than normal this month, and July’s not over yet. But relief is on the way — from the heat, at least. Temperatures are likely to fall midweek, and we might …

After a short practice to begin training camp, typically the Pittsburgh Steelers gradually ramp up to a full two-plus hours of drills. The second practice of this camp, though, ended up being shorter than the first. It was no fault of the team nor coach Mike Tomlin, though. Blame Mother Nature. An approaching storm initially evacuated fans from the Chuck …

More than a 100 million people in the US will face dangerous conditions over the weekend as a heat dome that has scorched much of the center of the country nudges eastward. Heat advisories were in place on Friday all across the north-eastern coast from Portland, Maine, to Wilmington, North Carolina, with the daytime heat index temperatures 10 to 15F …

In an unexpected twist, two Earth-based weather satellites, Himawari-8 and Himawari-9, have provided invaluable data on Venus, a revelation that could significantly enhance our understanding of the planet’s mysterious atmosphere. Initially designed to monitor Earth’s weather patterns, these satellites, operated by Japan, have instead delivered one of the longest multiband infrared records of Venus ever recorded. This accidental discovery has …

This article was originally published at The Conversation. The publication contributed the article to Space.com’s Expert Voices: Op-Ed & Insights. Our first meeting was a bit awkward. One of us is an archaeologist who studies how past peoples interacted with their environments. Two of us are geophysicists who investigate interactions between solar activity and Earth’s magnetic field. When we first …

TRACERS, short for Tandem Reconnection and Cusp Electrodynamics Reconnaissance Satellites, will study a process known as magnetic reconnection. As particles in the solar wind head out into the Solar System at up to 1 million mph, they bring along pieces of the Sun’s magnetic field. When the solar wind reaches our neighborhood, it begins interacting with Earth’s magnetic field. The …

In a serendipitous turn of events, scientists have discovered that Japan’s Himawari-8 and Himawari-9 weather satellites, designed to monitor storms and climate patterns here on Earth, have also been quietly collecting valuable data on Venus for nearly a decade. Although meteorological satellites orbit Earth and scan the skies around it, their imaging range extends into space, allowing them to occasionally …

NASA’s TRACERS mission blasted off from California’s Vandenberg Space Force Base on Wednesday (July 23), after a 24-hour delay caused by airspace concerns. TRACERS (Tandem Reconnection and Cusp Electrodynamics Reconnaissance Satellites) is composed of twin satellites that will study how surges in the solar wind trigger magnetic reconnection in Earth‘s magnetosphere; such reconnection leads to charged particles being funneled down …
