Michelle Starr is CNET's science editor, and she hopes to get you as enthralled with the wonders of the universe as she is. When she's not daydreaming about flying through space, she's daydreaming ...

April 3: Heavy Rain, Evening Sleet Storm - (Morning Gravity Wave) April 3-4: Damaging Downslope Wind Event (VT, Berkshires, Taconics) April 4: Heavy Morning Snow This was a particularly long duration ...

The January e-mail from Syracuse University physicist Peter Saulson caught me off guard. It probably shouldn’t have, since I had been anticipating the news for 16 years, ever since I wrote Einstein’s ...

Since extensive upgrades to improve sensitivity, gravitational wave detectors in the United States and Europe have detected ever-so-slight ripples in the fabric of space that appear to indicate three ...

Gravity wave clouds form in wave-like patterns in sky, oftentimes resembling ripples in a body of water from a rock being thrown. These types of clouds are created from air in the atmosphere coming ...

Giant balloons launched into the stratosphere to beam internet service to Earth have helped scientists measure tiny ripples in our upper atmosphere, uncovering patterns that could improve weather ...

Gravity waves are buoyancy‐driven oscillations that arise when stable stratification in the atmosphere is disturbed, for example by airflow over mountains, deep convection or tropical cyclones. These ...

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- We have another question to answer, and this one has to deal with some very interesting clouds. Ray C. took a picture just outside of Uniontown, Pennsylvania, where you can see ...
