NASA has announced that the world as we know it may be facing significant existential threats, lining up with physicist Stephen Hawking's prediction.

From 140 million miles distant, Earth just got the following message: NASA knows exactly what comes next. This message helps with transmitting.

How did life emerge on Earth? The age-old question has intrigued experts for years and now a study has hinted that rocky guests who visit us frequently might have carried the seeds of life.  Meteorites likely brought the building blocks of life to the primordial Earth from space, as per new evidence. Scientists are intrigued by the finding as this means that alien life exists somewhere in space.

A submerged bridge dating back at least 5,600 years is an indicator that human life in Mallorca, Spain, was present earlier than previously believed.

The powerful LARID radar in Hainan, China, can detect plasma bubbles in Earth’s upper atmosphere up to 9,600km away.

About 66 million years ago, a cataclysmic event marked the end of the dinosaur era. This episode is linked to the...

A team from UNIGE analyzed 56 million-year-old sediments to determine the rise in soil erosion due to global warming, which is associated with significant flooding. Around 56 million years ago, Earth underwent significant and swift climate warming, likely triggered by greenhouse gases emitted from

It feels like there have been staggering science stories emerging every other day recently, all of which have blown our tiny little minds.First, there was the discovery of a terrifying black hole pointing right at us, then there was a huge hole found in the sun and a missing continent found after go...

Some of the Earth’s most “extreme features” have been discovered deep, deep underground, and scientists can’t work out what they are. The mysterious zones have the power to slow down seismic waves by up to 50 per cent, yet experts don’t know what they’re made of or what role they play. These strange black holes (figuratively speaking) are located w...

Researchers finally have an interesting explanation for why the continents have been rising vertically along with moving horizontally.

A scientific drilling ship has burrowed further into Earth’s mantle than ever before, obtaining new clues about the processes that feed oceanic volcanoes and the possible origins of life

The origin of life on Earth is a profound mystery - including when it started and how the ingredients for it were assembled. And a new study aimed at answering the latter question finds that some building blocks didn't need to have formed on Earth, but could have arrived from space. The study, published AprilContinue reading "Evidence grows that meteorites, comets could have brought essentials of life to early Earth" The post Evidence grows that...

To explain the origin of life, we need to understand how and where these building blocks form and under what conditions they spontaneously assemble themselves into more complex structures.
