Hot, ocean-covered exoplanets with hydrogen-rich atmospheres could harbour life and may be more common than planets that are Earth-like in size, temperature and atmospheric composition. However, it has so far proven difficult to detect atmospheric signatures from Earth-like planets orbiting Sun-like stars.

A burst of solar wind triggered a planet-wide heatwave in Jupiter’s upper atmosphere, say astronomers at the University in Reading, UK. Our finding shows that Jupiter’s atmosphere is not as self-contained as we thought, and that the Sun can drive dramatic, global changes, even this far out in the solar system.”

Indeed, it is understandable why people might fear radiation given that you can’t see it – yet the same can be said of the air that we breathe. Despite these benefits, nuclear power tends to suffer from relatively poor public perception and not knowing it is low carbon could be due to a lack of education.
