In the Milky Way's central bulge, about 24,000 light-years from Earth, a peculiar pair of objects appears to be hurtling ...

Earth system models (ESMs) help us understand climate and environmental changes. With advances in computing power, ESMs can now be run at kilometer-scale (k-scale) resolutions, capturing very fine ...

Plate tectonics give Earth its mountains, earthquakes, continental drift and maybe even helped give rise to life itself. But do other planets in the solar system have them too?

Earth's climate system is now retaining an average of 1 million excess nuclear bombs worth of energy every single day - a 4X increase since 2000. That excess heat is super charging storms, melting ice ...

The Role of Climate Models in Understanding Our Planet Climate models are essential tools that scientists utilize to ...

The organic ingredients to life, hints to where Earth’s water came from, and the fundamental building blocks of our planet ...

The OSIRIS-REx mission returned to the sample to Earth in September of 2023, and these studies show that it contains amino ...

But surprisingly, the object’s orbit around the sun is similar to Earth’s, suggesting that 2024 PT5 originated from our corner of the solar system. Astronomers first spotted the asteroid on ...

Here are today's general risks from asteroids or comets both tiny and very large. Importantly, even relatively small rocks ...

A dive into probabilities, asteroid impact modeling, and what sort of damage an approximately 180-foot asteroid could cause on Earth.
