New research from NASA reveals that Europa’s ocean may contain the necessary balance of chemical energy for life, even if the moon lacks volcanic hydrothermal…
Using newly processed observations, astronomers spot tell-tale signs that the slow solar wind passing Earth originated from a magnetic phenomenon known as magnetic reconnection. From…
A newly published study shows that for the majority of Earth’s history, continental arc volcanism has been the main driver of long-term climate variability. A…
Using data from the New Horizons flyby of Pluto, astronomers continue to learn more about this icy world and its system of satellites. New Horizons…
New research from Yale University urges scientists to move their focus from species extinction to species rarity in order to recognize, and avoid, a mass…
Using land-based seismic stations, researchers from Yale University found that part of the Nazca Plate weakened and deformed as it bent and slid under the…
New research from MIT shows that the Earth’s geomagnetic field intensity is double the long-term historical average, indicating that the current field intensity has a…
NASA’s MAVEN mission reveals that solar wind appears to have played a key role in the transition of the Martian climate from an early, warm…
New data from the University of Liverpool reveals that the Earth’s inner core was formed 1 – 1.5 billion years ago as it “froze” from…
