For the first time, the three-year average global temperature was more than 1.5 degrees C above preindustrial temps.

Exoplanets like Earth have been discovered but not all Earth-like planets are equal when it comes to alien life.

New satellite records capture how polar ice sheets slide toward the sea, helping scientists better understand ice loss and rising sea levels.

The space rock, known as “2026 AJ” and 40 feet in diameter, is hurtling towards our planet at around 20,500 miles per hour.

A new study suggests lunar soil contains elements that solar wind transported to the moon from Earth’s atmosphere, solving a long-standing astronomy puzzle.

Researchers find that shifts in Earth’s orbit can trigger abrupt climate changes, even in warm periods without ice sheets.

Social media users shared a cosmic claim about an alleged secret NASA document named "Project Anchor" leaking online in 2024.

At half the size of Earth and one-tenth its mass, Mars is a featherweight as far as planets go. Yet new research reveals the extent to which Mars is quietly tugging on Earth's orbit and shaping the cycles that drive long-term climate patterns here,

Crystals hidden in Australia’s oldest rocks have revealed new clues about how Earth and the Moon formed. The study suggests Earth’s continents didn’t begin growing until hundreds of millions of years after the planet itself formed.

Today, science can narrow down potential oil reserves with surprising accuracy — especially when it comes to shale oil, found embedded within sedimentary rock. By studying sediments in China's Sichuan Basin, researchers found that variations in the Earth's orbit can help prospectors better predict where shale oil is most likely to form.

A 2025 satellite image shows a series of ghostly ice swirls sculpted on the surface of Lake Michigan by strong winds during an extreme cold snap that covered Chicago in a blanket of snow.
