O'Dell's team was surprised ... in size, becoming a red giant. During this phase, the star shed its outer gaseous layers into space and began to collapse as fusion reactions began to die out. A gusher ... becomes a white dwarf, it will heat more slowly after it ejects its outer gaseous layers," O'Dell said. "The material will be farther away once it becomes hot enough to ...

... affects the distribution of tropospheric ozone around the planet. Tropospheric ozone exists in the atmospheric layer closest to the surface and comprises ozone produced naturally and from human pollution. Ozone in ... of real exoplanet atmospheres -- including gas giants (though so far none show signs of habitable layers). And tasting the atmospheres of smaller, rocky, potentially habitable exoplanets soon could be within reach ...

The rover landed ... succeed, but that has also whetted our appetites to learn more. We hope those enticing layers at Mount Sharp will preserve a broad diversity of other environmental conditions that could have ...

... provide maximum safety. This structure is accordingly constituted of multiple layers to provide protection. Starting from inside to outside, these multiple layers include: (i) the air barrier (e.g. bladder), (ii) the restraint, and the (iii) Micro-meteoroid and orbital debris (MMOD) layers. Although there were some initial problems with the inflation of the BEAM structure it is ...

... flights represented the "first direct observation" of what probably is cosmic dust in the airglow layer of about 48- to 54-mi. altitude. Major Cooper reported that light of two stars in Big Dipper had been extinguished by airglow layer, and Dr. Ney said this was "strong evidence for the existence of dust" which could ...
