Astronomical discovery: supersonic gales of 20,500 mph batter the exoplanet WASP-127b, breaking cosmic records for ...

Artifacts from the Iron Age have revealed an intense historical magnetic anomaly in the Middle East. Could using a similar approach elsewhere help us unravel the mysteries of Earth's magnetic field?

Earth’s magnetic shield protects us from the Sun’s deadly solar wind—except at the polar cusps, where energy funnels straight toward Earth. NASA’s TRACERS mission will send two spacecraft through ...

Earth has experienced both hot and cold periods over time, though warm times have been more common. That’s true of the last 485 million years, as seen in this timeline reported in 2024. Our genus, ...

Scientists have traced the shifting and strengthening Southern jet stream to global warming and other major climate drivers.

The rational response to China’s challenge would be, “back to the future,” by defeating Trump’s drill-baby-drill agenda and ...

Earth's magnetic field protects from solar radiation. It originates from molten core motion. Magnetic north pole moves constantly. Field reversals occurred in the past. The field weakens in some areas ...

Two wildfires in Northern Arizona, sparked from lightning, have burned at least 60,000 acres in a little over a week — and, while firefighters work around the clock trying to contain the fires, ...

On its record-breaking pass by the Sun late last year, the Johns Hopkins APL-built Parker Solar Probe captured stunning images from within the Sun’s atmosphere. Taken closer to the Sun than we’ve ever ...

Researchers measuring the salinity of the Southern Ocean did find unexpected results, but some online reports got the details ...

Jet streams are often referred to as the "motor" of global weather: High-altitude wind currents steer areas of high and low ...

The poles can flip over the course of hundreds or thousands of years, and this can happen at random, with intervals ranging anywhere from 10,000 years to 50 million years or more. Around 41,000 years ...
