Can we stop it weakening by 2050? Flowing clockwise around Antarctica, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current is the strongest ocean current on the planet. It's five times stronger than the Gulf Stream ...

At the North Pole, the radius is 90° (diameter = 180°), and every star in the sky is circumpolar! From mid-northern latitudes, the constellations Lyra and Cygnus, associated with summer ...

The system, Cygnus X-3, was discovered in the early 1970s when radio telescopes spotted powerful jets radiating out from it at nearly the speed of light. The radio emission from these jets lasts ...

The Antarctic Circumpolar Current may be moving 20% slower by 2050, according to research described in The Conversation. Surrounding Antarctica in a ring, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current is the ...

The Circumpolar Current works as a regulator of the planet's climate. Its origins were thought to have caused the formation of the permanent ice in Antarctica about 34 million years ago.
