For the first time, the three-year average global temperature was more than 1.5 degrees C above preindustrial temps.

A new study reveals a rare-breaking white dwarf star, dubbed RXJ0528+2838, that is somehow generating a rainbow-like "bow shock" as it zooms through the Milky Way. The cosmic zombie is also ripping apart its partner star like a black hole.

Exoplanets like Earth have been discovered but not all Earth-like planets are equal when it comes to alien life.

New satellite records capture how polar ice sheets slide toward the sea, helping scientists better understand ice loss and rising sea levels.

Social media users shared a cosmic claim about an alleged secret NASA document named "Project Anchor" leaking online in 2024.

A mile-wide asteroid known as 2005 UK1 will safely pass Earth on Jan. 12, 2026, at 32 times the moon’s distance, posing no danger to the planet.

A new study suggests lunar soil contains elements that solar wind transported to the moon from Earth’s atmosphere, solving a long-standing astronomy puzzle.

Today, science can narrow down potential oil reserves with surprising accuracy — especially when it comes to shale oil, found embedded within sedimentary rock. By studying sediments in China's Sichuan Basin, researchers found that variations in the Earth's orbit can help prospectors better predict where shale oil is most likely to form.

A new study reveals that tiny fragments of Earth's atmosphere are transported to and absorbed by the moon via gusts of solar wind and our planet's magnetic field, upending a 20-year-old theory based on NASA's Apollo lunar samples.

At half the size of Earth and one-tenth its mass, Mars is a featherweight as far as planets go. Yet new research reveals the extent to which Mars is quietly tugging on Earth's orbit and shaping the cycles that drive long-term climate patterns here,
