Scientists discovered two massive zones of superheated rock deep inside Earth that help control our planet's protective magnetic shield. This breakthrough explains mysteries about how Earth stays geologically active and magnetically protected.
Scientists discovered Earth's core contains enough hydrogen to equal 45 oceans of water, suggesting our planet formed with water already inside rather than getting it from comets. This breakthrough helps solve the mystery of where Earth's water really came from.
Scientists discovered Earth's core may contain up to 45 oceans' worth of hydrogen, making it the planet's largest water reservoir. This finding rewrites our understanding of how Earth got its water during the earliest days of planetary formation.
Japan just made a breakthrough that could end its dependence on imported rare earth minerals. The nation successfully collected rare earth mud from 6,000 meters below the Pacific Ocean near a remote island.
Scientists discovered that a nearby exoplanet in the habitable zone is more Earth-like than they thought. The planet, twice Earth's mass instead of five times, is now a top candidate for potentially supporting life.
Scientists discovered Earth's core contains vastly more hydrogen than all the oceans combined, solving a 4.5-billion-year mystery. This breakthrough reveals our planet has been hiding its biggest hydrogen reservoir right at its center all along.
Scientists say our planet has a better shot at surviving the sun's fiery death than we thought. New calculations suggest Earth could drift to safety as the dying sun loses mass.
Scientists discovered Earth formed under incredibly precise chemical conditions that let it keep phosphorus and nitrogen, two elements essential for life. Most planets miss this narrow sweet spot, making our world a fortunate exception in the universe.
Deep beneath underwater volcanoes, Earth runs a natural gold factory that scientists just mapped for the first time. The discovery reveals how our planet has been concentrating precious metals for millions of years.
Four astronauts returned from humanity's first moon mission in 52 years with breathtaking images of our planet from space. Their journey around the moon captured everything from glowing auroras to Earth rising over the lunar surface.

Planet Labs just proved satellites can use AI to detect objects in space and send alerts to Earth in minutes instead of hours. The breakthrough turns orbiting cameras into an intelligent early warning system for disasters and emergencies.
For decades, scientists believed comets or asteroids delivered Earth's water. Now breakthrough research suggests our planet may have made its own oceans from scratch.
Dr. masharu's Museum of Edible Earth showcases 600 edible soils from 44 countries, challenging what we think we know about dirt. The interactive exhibit at London's Somerset House lets visitors safely sample soil from around the world.
A renowned scientist's new book shows how life and our planet have been in conversation for four billion years, transforming each other in amazing ways. The work celebrates the wonder of Earth's story while offering hope for understanding our future.
Scientists are discovering minerals never before seen in nature by studying tiny flecks trapped inside diamonds from deep within Earth's mantle. These discoveries prove that material from our planet's surface travels hundreds of kilometers down and back up again in a continuous cycle.
