This melting has implications for global climate indicators, including sea level rise, ocean warming and viability of marine ecosystems.
Located 2.5 million light-years away, the majestic Andromeda galaxy appears to the naked eye as a faint, spindle-shaped object roughly the angular size of the full Moon.
Speedy’ planets orbiting faster in smaller orbits around white dwarfs are warmer than expected and more likely to maintain habitable conditions than the planets around the sun-like stars.
NASA's Lucy spacecraft will fly by the small asteroid Donaldjohanson on April 20, 2025.
New research has demonstrated the precise relationship between past ice ages and each wobble, tilt, and angle of the planet's path, unlocking a new tool for predicting the future fluctuations of our global climate.
Cumulative heat stress changes our epigenetics – how our cells turn on or off gene switches in response to environmental pressure. Longer periods of extreme heat accelerated ageing in older people by more than two years.
Hundreds of millions of years ago, rocks crushed under kilometres of ice injected vital nutrients into Earth's oceans.
When you look around the Universe you live in, it looks like a 3D space, just like the surface of the Earth looks like a 2D space. However, just like the Earth, if you were to look at the Universe as a whole, it could be a more complicated space.
Firefly’s Blue Ghost lunar lander softly touched down in Mare Crisium carrying 10 NASA instruments.
The team put graphite under an intense amount of pressure, before heating it to 1,800 K. The newly produced diamond has a hardness of 155 gigapascals (GPa). Natural diamond, by comparison, tops out at around 110 GPa in hardness.
In 2007, astronomers discovered the Cosmic Horseshoe, a gravitationally lensed system of galaxies. New research reveals the presence of an Ultra-Massive Black Hole in the foreground galaxy with a staggering 36 billion solar masses.
Data from Chinese Zhurong rover provide an unprecedented look into rocks buried near a proposed shoreline billions of years old. The researchers claim to have found beach deposits from an ancient Martian ocean.
Atomic nuclei may be more complex than we thought, and may have implications for our understanding of the formation of heavy elements.
A new international study partially funded by NASA on how Mars got its iconic red color adds to evidence that Mars had a cool but wet and potentially habitable climate in its ancient past.
In everyday life, we typically encounter water in one of three familiar states – solid, liquid or gas. But there are in fact many more phases, some of which are so strange they’re referred to as exotic.
