The temperature on the surface of the planet is around 870° F (465° C)—hot enough to melt lead—and the atmospheric pressure at Venusian sea level (not that there are any seas) is 92 times what it is on Earth. But if it's unlikely you — or any other organism — could survive on the surface of Venus, ...

Tiangong-1 fell into the middle of the South Pacific, the space agency said. The 40-foot long Tiangong-1, or “Heavenly Palace,” is one of China's highest ...

BEIJING: China's Tiangong-1 spacecraft will re-enter the Earth's atmosphere at some point on Monday, the country's space agency said in a statement. The Manned Space Agency did not specify a time when it expects the craft to enter the atmosphere in its statement on Sunday. No one knows for sure ...

China's defunct Tiangong 1 space station is hurtling towards Earth and expected to re-enter the atmosphere within the next day. Most of it should burn up on re-entry, so scientists say it poses only a slight risk to people on the ground. The European Space Agency has forecast that the station will re-enter ...

China's defunct Tiangong 1 space station hurtled toward Earth on Sunday and was expected to re-enter the atmosphere within hours. Most of the craft should burn up on re-entry, so scientists said it poses only a slight risk to people on the ground. The European Space Agency forecast that the station, ...

Speaking to reporters in an impromptu press conference Friday, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders floated the possibility of arming fixed-wing Predator drones to patrol Earth's atmosphere, hinting at one of the first details of President Trump's “Space Force” proposal. During a speech to ...

China's Tiangong-1 space station is set to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere on Monday, officials said on Sunday, as the expected time of arrival for the out of control craft continued to be fine-tuned. But Beijing said there was no need for concern as it was unlikely to do any damage on the ground, in an ...

It's Earth's twin, Venus. Despite its appeal, the second planet from the sun is one of the hardest places in the solar system to get to know. That's partly because modern Venus is famously hellish. Temperatures are hot enough to melt lead. Choking clouds of sulfuric acid swirl through its atmosphere. Today ...

As mentioned in the video, Earth creates a bow shock, too, as we move in orbit around the sun. It happens when the solar wind (a stream of charged particles from the sun) meets Earth's magnetosphere (the magnetic environment around Earth). Explanations of Earth's bow shock get complicated and ...
