For all our technological progress, humanity remains confined to a single planet. But that may not always be the case. Over the past few decades, astronomers have discovered thousands of exoplanets, ...
When Earth was a molten inferno, water may have been locked safely underground rather than lost to space. Researchers discovered that bridgmanite deep in the mantle can store far more water at high ...
Earth has the perfect combination of a livable atmosphere and a protective magnetic field that prevents the Sun's harmful radiation and radioactive solar winds from damaging us, allowing us to live on ...

Each second of filmmaker Daniel Raven-Ellison's short film represents one percent of the Earth's surface. Only eight seconds show intact forest. A wetland in the U.K., seen from above. The short film ...
Solar storms can trigger auroras on Earth. This star’s explosion could destroy a planet’s atmosphere
For the first time, astronomers say they have spotted a giant explosion released by a star beyond our solar system. The eruption was similar in some ways to those unleashed by our sun, such as the ...
While the Earth has gone through some dramatic climate changes in its 4.6-billion-year history, natural processes like silicate weathering can help return things to a comfortable equilibrium. A new ...
“BOYS II PLANET” spin-off program “PLANET C : HOME RACE” has announced its lineup of masters! “PLANET C : HOME RACE” will feature 18 contestants from PLANET C on “BOYS II PLANET” who did not make it ...
The recently spotted asteroid 2025 PN7 appears to be the source of the rumor mill about Earth's supposed second moon. Earth has several quasi-moons that get their name due to the fact that they ...
The view of Earth from space is famously familiar—bright blue ocean, swirling gyres of white clouds, touches of terrestrial green. The luminosity of this image is the result of the sun’s rays shining ...
We’re going dark. The Earth is reflecting less light than it used to, especially the Northern Hemisphere. While climate change is to blame, the reverse is also true: the planet being darker — and ...
A newly discovered warp in the outer Solar System may have been created by a small, rocky world, much closer to the Sun than the hypothesized Planet Nine. According to a new measurement of the Kuiper ...
