Extraterrestrial impact may have caused abrupt climate change 12,800 years ago, research suggests
Sediment cores taken from White Pond in South Carolina show that an extraterrestrial collision may have triggered an abrupt change in the Earth’s climate 12,800 years ago, said archaeologist Christopher Moore of the University of South Carolina. About 14,500 years ago, Earth’s climate began to shift from glacial to interglacial, characterized by warmer temperatures. However, partway through this […]

“Snowball Earth” from eons ago may have been caused by a rapid decrease in incoming sunlight, says study
There are at least two instances in which the Earth was completely smothered by ice. This icy world, often called Snowball Earth, is believed to have occurred around 700 million years ago. It was characterized by the global expansion of ice that makes Earth look like a snowball from outer space. Its exact cause remains unknown, although experts posit […]

Global magnetic anomaly hit the Earth out of nowhere during deep solar minimum
On June 23, astronomers detected an unusual wave of magnetism hitting the Earth. What makes this event unusual is that this is occurring during the deepest solar minimum in a century, and these kinds of geomagnetic activity should not be happening. The Sun is usually filled with activity. Using special, filtered telescopes, astronomers can see that the Sun is filled […]

Astronomers debunk the mystery of Earth’s “space cones”
Earth is filled with cones that come from space. Fortunately, astronomers have figured out that they aren’t as mysterious as people previously believed – as it turns out, they’re just meteorites that plunged into the Earth’s atmosphere. Since the Earth began forming around 4.5 billion years ago, it has been peppered by asteroids and meteors alike. The […]

The Earth’s mantle is a “geochemically diverse mosaic,” reveals team of geologists
The typical visual depiction of the Earth’s mantle as a solid band of yellow-orange sitting between the crust and core has just received an update. A recent paper in Nature Geoscience now describes it as “more heterogenous” than what people previously thought. An international group led by the University of Utah provided a more diverse representation of the mantle, far different compared […]

Mesmerized by the ocean? To understand why the moon is where it is, start with Earth’s tides
As far as the human race remembers, the moon has always been there. But how did it get up there in the first place – and what keeps it revolving around Earth? By firing lasers at artificial mirrors deployed on the moon, researchers have learned that Earth’s satellite is drifting away at the rate of […]

Earth could have been a hostile ocean planet if not for ancient supernova
Shortly after the birth of the sun, a nearby star came to a thermonuclear end. The stellar funeral pyre bathed the young solar system with large amounts of radioactive metals. Swiss researchers suggest that the heat from aluminum isotopes from this supernova evaporated the excess amounts of water on the young Earth, thereby keeping it from transforming into a lifeless, […]

New computer models suggest life on the nearest exoplanets may already be thriving
There are rocky exoplanets around the size of Earth that lie within a few light-years of the solar system. While these relatively nearby worlds receive intense radiation from their active stars, they might eventually bear alien life – if they haven’t already done so. These planets lie well within the habitable zone of stars like […]

5 surprising scientific facts about Earth’s climate
On the weekend of August 10–11, as if in chorus, major online news websites called on people to stop consuming meat. The calls echoed a recent United Nations report that recommended doing so to fight climate change. (Article by Vijay Jayaraj republished from FEE.org) It surprised many, but there are other more surprising facts about climate change that are hardly published in our […]

Does Mars have an active groundwater system? Scientists say YES
Liquid water had long since deserted the surface of Mars, leaving only the faint marks of its passage in the form of dried-out channels, lake-beds, and valleys. But researchers said that the Red Planet might harbor flowing water hundreds of meters underground. Previous studies have indicated that the Martian south pole contained lakes of liquid […]
