Climates Of Temperate Rocky Planets With He-dominated Atmospheres
7+ hour, 2+ min ago (162+ words) [astro-ph.EP] We present radiative-convective modeling of rocky exoplanets with He-dominated atmospheres and low envelope mass fractions. Helium has a steeper adiabatic temperature profile than N2 and H2 as it has fewer degrees of freedom. Line broadening differences are small, collision-induced absorption…...

The rivers on Titan flow, pool into lakes and are fed by rainfall on a slow cycle much like our own, but the liquid is methane and the ground beneath it is water frozen hard as stone
14+ hour, 36+ min ago (624+ words) Saturn's moon Titan has rivers, rainfall, lakes and a slow hydrological cycle uncannily like Earth's — but the liquid is methane, the bedrock is frozen water ice, and the whole system runs at minus 179 degrees Celsius....
