The European Space Agency’s (ESA) Mars Express and ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter are excellent spacecraft that have provided insights into the Red Planet time and time again. They are also capable of doing things beyond their standard job. They recently looked at interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS. They were also used to measure the winds on the surface of Mars, something that …

A powerful nor’easter storm is expected to slam New Jersey this weekend with wind gusts up to 50 mph and up to 5 inches of rain from Sunday into Monday. Sustained winds between 30 and 40 mph could gust up to 50 mph along the Jersey Shore, according to the latest briefing from the National Weather Service . These winds …

Science & Exploration 08/10/2025 1611 views 15 likes In brief Combing through 20 years of images from the European Space Agency’s Mars Express and ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter spacecraft, scientists have tracked 1039 tornado-like whirlwinds to reveal how dust is lifted into the air and swept around Mars’s surface. Published today in Science Advances, their findings – including that the …

Twenty years’ worth of imagery captured by two orbiters circling Mars has revealed raging winds on the red planet. Wind on the barren planet would be invisible if it weren’t for Mars’ iconic red dust, which was caught in the wind’s vortices, creating a phenomenon known as dust devils. These tornado-like whirlwinds also occur on Earth, but the new catalog …

A deadly tornado that tore across southeastern North Dakota this summer has been upgraded to an EF5 with winds topping 200 mph (322 kph), the strongest classification of tornado and the first on American soil in a dozen years, meteorologists said Monday. The June 20 twister in Enderlin killed three people and caused significant damage. At its largest, the tornado …

Imelda — which became the fourth hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season on Tuesday — is expected to bring hurricane-force winds, damaging waves and flash flooding to Bermuda on Wednesday night into early Thursday.

Astronomers have used an X-ray spacecraft called XRISM to observe powerful winds blowing from a neutron star — the findings could be a “game changer” for physics. The team discovered unexpected differences between powerful and energetic winds blowing from swirling disks of gas and dust, called accretion disks, around extreme “dead stars,” or neutron stars, and winds that flow from …

Science & Exploration 17/09/2025 1233 views 26 likes The X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM) has revealed an unexpected difference between the powerful winds launching from a disc around a neutron star and those from material circling supermassive black holes. The surprisingly dense wind blowing from the stellar system challenges our understanding of how such winds form and drive change …
