In an article published in the journal Nature, researchers in the University of Cambridge’s Centre for the Study of Existential Risk (CSER), and the University of Birmingham say there is a “broad misconception” that risks of major eruptions are low,

Metallic glass is an important advanced alloy, holding promise for broad engineering applications.

The same solar energy from the Sun that nurtures life on Earth can start a blaze of fury that is capable of leaving humanity on the verge of death. Know the reality of solar storms and CME that is not talked about.

Stars come in many varieties, including simmering dwarfs and brilliant hypergiants. The life expectancy and ultimate fate of a star — and, therefore, any planets orbiting it — is tied to its mass: Red dwarfs may live for trillions of years, whereas massive st…

Studying how those impacts affect planetary bodies, asteroids, moons and other rocks in space help planetary scientists understand extraplanetary geology, especially where to look for precious matter including water, ice and even, potentially, microbial life.

Researchers from the University of Sheffield determined that the eruption was equivalent to around 61 Mt of TNT, whereas the Tsar Bomba released between 50-58 Mt.

Intriguingly, the crater, named Nadir after the nearby volcano Nadir Seamount, is of the same age as the Chicxulub impact caused by a huge asteroid at the end of the Cretaceous period, around 66 million years ago, which wiped out the dinosaurs and many othe…
