Astronomers say they spotted signs of a giant explosion releasing from a star beyond our solar system, one powerful enough to destroy a planet’s atmosphere.

A geomagnetic superstorm is an extreme space weather event that occurs when the sun releases massive amounts of energy and charged particles toward Earth. These storms are rare, occurring about once ...

"The most convincing scenario is that most of the building blocks of Earth and Theia originated in the inner solar system.

About 4.5 billion years ago, the most momentous event in the history of Earth occurred: a huge celestial body called Theia ...

Researchers discovered that moss spores can survive nearly a year exposed directly to space. Despite intense UV radiation and temperature swings, most spores remained viable when returned to Earth.

In 2005, scientists announced that moss could grow inside of spaceships. The little plants the scientists sent up on NASA ...
