Efforts to unravel the mysteries of dark matter have gained momentum with a new approach exploring its potential conversion into detectable signals within Earth's ionosphere. Dark matter, believed to constitute…
Earth is continuously bombarded by meteorites, with many burning up in our atmosphere before reaching the surface. Significant impacts can occur, leading to potential consequences for life on our planet.…
C-type asteroids, like Ryugu, are fascinating because they could be the reason life began on Earth. These space rocks are packed with the raw materials that likely helped shape the…
Earth has experienced its hottest year on record in 2024, with temperatures significantly exceeding previous highs. This marked a temporary breach of the critical global warming limit of 1.5 degrees…
NASA and ISRO have come together for an ambitious mission set to change how we observe Earth's ecosystems and landscapes. The NISAR Mission, short for NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar, will…
Africa's landmass is gradually splitting due to a tectonic phenomenon. Scientists project that this may lead to the formation of a new ocean in roughly 50 million years. This movement…
Earth recently captured a small asteroid known as 2024 PT5, temporarily transforming it into a second moon. This rare event was confirmed by astronomers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and…
NASA's asteroid-hunting spacecraft, NEOWISE, has officially concluded its journey, meeting its end as it re-entered Earth's atmosphere and burned up on 1 November. Over its 15-year lifespan, NEOWISE catalogued nearly…
In April 2029, asteroid Apophis will pass exceptionally close to Earth—at just 20,000 miles away, closer than many satellites. The encounter may trigger significant physical changes on the asteroid's surface…
The NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) satellite, a collaborative Earth-observation project between NASA and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), is set to launch from India in early 2025. Designed…
