Convection cells can form in any fluid. In addition to the Sun (and my coffee), we see them in Earth's atmosphere and in the mantle, but another fun food example is miso soup.

A 280-Mile-Wide Ring Formed by Convection The image, taken by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA’s Terra satellite, shows a Rayleigh-Bénard convection cell in ...

The convection cells give the protosphere, or the visible surface of the sun, a speckled popcorn-like texture, as piping hot plasma rises up from the cells’ center and then travels out to the ...

Convection cells, made of plasma, an ionised and highly variable gas, are found at altitudes of hundreds kilometres over the polar caps.

This means convection could easily occur, even at the extremely low temperatures of Pluto, which average more than 300 degrees Fahrenheit below zero. A team led by William McKinnon, deputy lead of the ...

These cloud patterns can be observed in satellite images of the Earth and often exhibit distinct cell-like structures associated with organized convection at scales of tens of kilometres1,2,3.

Purdue University researchers have proposed that the polygons seen in the images could be individual Rayleigh-Bénard convection cells.

This deep convection, the most conspicuous feature of the tropical circulation, in the company of precipitation transports latent heat from the earth's surface to the upper atmosphere.

Ocean currents, the atmosphere of Venus, the surface of the sun and a bowl of miso soup all have one thing in common: They convect. Here's how to check that out. More home experiments &raquo ...

Data reported by NASA’s New Horizons New Horizons mission to the Pluto system shows unusual terrain in this region, which features a large deposit of nitrogen ice with a pattern of polygons that are ...
