An international study team—composed of researchers from the California Academy of Sciences, the China University of Geosciences, and the University of Bristol—revealed that biodiversity loss may be the harbinger of a more devastating ecological collapse, a c…

Super-scary! A super-Earth will toss us into the Sun or leave us lost in space

We are two of the astronomers who led the discovery of this planet, called TOI-700 e. TOI-700 e is just over 100 light years from Earth - too far away for humans to visit - but we do know that it is similar in size to the Earth, likely rocky in composition an…

Scientists have tried to understand what would have been the fate of Earth if there was one more planet present between Mars and Jupiter.

Based on observations from several NASA missions, the map details the path of the Moon’s shadow as it crosses the contiguous U.S. during eclipses in 2023 and 2024.

Heat shield sustained more damage than expected, but this shouldn't discourage astronauts

By reviving dormant brain cells, researchers increased the number of neurons in the brains of adult and elderly mice.

Under the wrong circumstances, earthquakes can alter the length of Earth's days.

We've got a curious case of mistaken identity to report.

Researchers at ICRAR have uncovered tantalizing evidence of magnetic fields in the universe's largest cosmic structures. The cosmic web, a network of interconnecting filaments and clusters containing gases, galaxies, and winding around cosmic voids that span …
