ISS astronauts are quite literally on a mission to save the Earth – or at least to show us which areas are home to the biggest polluters.

EMIT and Desist

This is huge. 

Astronauts Spot World's Largest Polluters from Space Station

The levels of oxygen on Mars increase and decrease over the year in a way that just doesn't make sense to scientists, a new paper reveals.

Chem Tales

Every year, oxygen levels on Mars spike. Scientists are baffled.

"Mind Boggling" Behavior of Oxygen on Mars Has NASA Stumped

Scientists are suggesting that the methane-filled lakes on the surface of Saturn's largest moon Titan could have been formed by massive explosions.

Blowed Up

Pockets of warming nitrogen gas could've blown massive craters into the moon's surface.

To prevent farm animals from contribute to methane emissions, scientists suggest feeding them foods less likely to produce the greenhouse gas.

Gassy Guts

We could cut the methane off at its source.

Gut Microbe Manipulation Could End Climate-Destroying Sheep Farts

NASA's Curiosity Rover just found methane readings at a Martian site to be three times as high as the previously record level — posssibly a sign of life.

Mars Farts

Curiosity just detected mysteriously high levels of methane on the Red Planet.﻿

New NASA Rover Discovery Hints at Signs of Life on Mars

Scientists from Stanford University are arguing that we should be converting methane into more carbon dioxide to help with climate change.

CO2 Sucks

"That would buy us time to address the more difficult set of carbon dioxide sources."

Scientists' Startling Idea to Fight Climate Change: More CO2

A new astronomical study found out where the methane on Mars is coming from, and once again confirmed that it's there at all.

Space Gas

Mars' methane eluded atmospheric surveys, but now we know where it came from.

Astronomers Found Mars' Missing Methane

For the last 15 years, NASA and ESA scientists have found signs of methane in Mars' atmosphere. But a recent survey by an ESA orbiter didn't find any.

Space Detectives

But the team isn't giving up yet.
