LASP: Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics

Written by icelefant on
The ability to combine world-class experimental, laboratory, theoretical and information systems approaches, and to involve students in all aspects of these endeavors, is a key strength of LASP. These unique abilities put the Laboratory into the top tier of University space research groups in the country and the world. The combination of qualities allows LASP to contribute in unique ways to the University academic environment. Read Full Story

Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics in Boulder, CO

Written by nlhouser on
In 1948, the Upper Atmosphere Lab was developed as a way to initiate a new era of space exploration at the University of Colorado. Since then, NASA has launched 15 alumni on 34 manned missions, in addition to designing and building instruments for NASA planetary missions. The Colorado lab is at the top of the space tier of University space research groups in the world, with a combination of superior qualities that allow it to be unique to the University academic environment. When the University was first developed, the first space experiments were lofted by sub-orbital rockets. The problem was they required a stabilized ... Read Full Story

OMG, there's a black hole: Our Galaxy

Written by omgfrank on
I know this is nerdy but just so's y'all know, there's a black hole four million times the size of the sun in the Milky Way. So we might all die from being sucked into that before we die of killing our own planet. Happy Holidays! More HERE . Read Full Story

Running Out of Space....in Space?

Written by angryjed on
We've been told for years about all the space junk floating around our beautiful blue ball we call Planet Earth. It surprises me that it has only now come to a point where things bigger than screws and paint chips are hitting each other - making many more smaller pieces of junk that whizz by at thousands of miles per hour. Maybe the next generation of Space Shuttle can drag a fine mesh nano-titanium net to catch all the debris. Or even better some private 'space cowboy' builds his own ship and makes a fortune recycling old satellites....anyone want to help me build a ... Read Full Story

Space Dust Conjestion

Written by tea512 on
On Tuesday night, there was an orbital collision between two satellites in space. There have been close to 6,000 satellites launched since the first Soviet satellite Sputnik in 1957. During the last 52 years, a few have been brought back to Earth. There is no international law or until now requirement of a satellites return. This would cost more money because it uses rocket fuel for reentry. If the satellite has rocket fuel then it stay in space longer as operational. There has been a renewed effort for the celestial equivalent of the earth air traffic controlling system. This topic will come up next ... Read Full Story

Atmospheric science: Industrial UV shield
Atmos. Chem. Phys.9, 7737–7751 (2009)Earth's natural sunscreen — the stratospheric ozone layer — has thinned during the past few decades because of the rise in atmospheric pollutants such as chlorofluorocarbons. This has allowed more ultraviolet (UV) radiation to reach many parts of

15 Million Years Since Atmospheric CO2 So High
15 million years ago the planet Earth was much warmer. You would have to go back at least 15 million years to find carbon dioxide levels on Earth as high as they are today, a UCLA scientist and colleagues report Oct. 8 in the online edition of the journal Science. "The last time carbon dioxide levels were apparently as high as they are today — and were sustained at those levels — global temperatures were 5 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit higher than...

Atmospheric science: Alien sprites
J. Geophys. Res.114, E09002 (2009) 10.1029/2008JE003311Sprites — ghostly flashes of light that occur above some thunderstorms on Earth — may also illuminate other planets' atmospheres.Calculations suggest that sprites could occur on both Venus and Jupiter, if thunderstorms on

It's Earth Science Week, and this year's theme is Understanding Climate. So it's the perfect time to share some cool videos of women earth scientists and how they are working to improve the diversity and representation of women in atmospheric science. Hat tip to Erika Marin-Spiotta for sharing these videos. The first three-minute video is about the GRASP program, which gives undergraduate students a chance to do research at Storm Peak Lab in...
