Virgin Galactic hasn’t proven that it can take tourists to space, yet it has already taken stock investors to the skies. Maintaining the buzz will be a struggle.

Earth's thermosphere recently hit a near 20-year temperature peak after soaking up energy from geomagnetic storms that bashed Earth this year. The temperature in the second-highest layer of the ...

There are not enough air molecules in the thermosphere to transfer significant amounts of heat to an object.

The thermosphere naturally contracts and expands every 11 years in response to the sun’s routine activity cycle, the scientists noted.

FARGO — The thermosphere is a layer high in the atmosphere known for extremely high temperatures, extremely low air density and, on occasion, the Northern Lights. From about 50 miles above the ...

The thermosphere is where the International Space Station and most other satellites orbit Earth. More than 10,000 satellites are currently drifting through low Earth orbit.
