Scientists have finally confirmed that Earth is wrapped in a subtle but global electric field, a planetary-scale energy ...

High above the Earth, the ionosphere, a chaotic, sun-charged layer of our atmosphere, is levying an invisible tax on every self-driving car in development. If you live in Africa, South America or ...

On Jan. 10, 1946, the world changed forever after scientists at Camp Evans in Wall bounced the first radar signal off the ...

Long-term satellite measurements show that Earth’s magnetic field is changing faster and more unevenly than expected, driven ...

In October 2022, astronomers detected the brightest gamma-ray burst ever recorded, caused by the collapse of a massive star 2 billion light years away. Despite the immense distance, the radiation was ...

For decades, Earth’s magnetic field was seen as a protective barrier, sealing the planet’s atmosphere off from the vacuum of space. Now, scientists are uncovering evidence that challenges that idea.

Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS made its closest approach to Earth on Friday, Dec. 19. The comet will pass within about 170 million miles of our planet and poses no danger. While not visible to the naked ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: It used to be thought that there were more volatiles than expected in lunar soil because they escaped Earth before it had a stable magnetic field.

For months now, astronomers have been closely watching the mysterious interstellar object 3I/ATLAS as it rips through the solar system at a breakneck velocity. And before it finally leaves us for good ...

The moon's surface may be more than just a dusty, barren landscape. Over billions of years, tiny particles from Earth's atmosphere have landed in the lunar soil, creating a possible source of ...

Earth's climate has swung between ice ages and warmer periods for millions of years, driven by subtle changes in our planet's orbit and axial tilt. These variations, known as Milankovitch cycles, ...
