VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — An impressive shelf cloud formation was seen over much of Hampton Roads late on Saturday afternoon. That might have people wondering what exactly causes these visually stunning ...

A team using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has uncovered a new type of astronomical object—a starless, gas-rich, dark-matter cloud that is considered a "relic" or remnant of early galaxy ...

The first few drips of a rain shower are usually a sign that ‘supercooled’ droplets in the cloud above have started to freeze. Supercooled water exists as a liquid below the normal freezing point of ...
