We explain the science behind solar storms, plasma ejections, and how charged particles interact with Earth's atmosphere to create these colorful displays. Watch.

Different layers of the atmosphere can have different densities with air moving at different speeds, causing turbulence between layers. This turbulence can cause the formation of a wave pattern ...

This infographic shows the multiple layers of our atmosphere, extending from the ground up into space, and how the new dataset compares in coverage to those currently available.
