The BBC's groundbreaking nature documentary series Planet Earth turns 20 this year, marking two decades of bringing never-before-seen wildlife moments into our homes. The network just released an hour-long compilation celebrating iconic scenes that changed how we see our world.
The groundbreaking nature documentary series Planet Earth is marking its 20th anniversary with a celebration of the most breathtaking wildlife moments ever filmed. Among the highlights: the extraordinary courtship dance of New Guinea's birds of paradise.
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 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 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.
A groundbreaking satellite just launched to capture the first X-ray images of Earth's protective magnetic bubble. The mission represents a rare moment of scientific cooperation between Europe and China.
Researchers have designed a satellite system that could protect Earth from catastrophic solar superstorms by creating a giant plasma wall in space. The six-satellite constellation, called StormWall, could cut a superstorm's intensity by more than half and is "quite feasible" according to experts.
A groundbreaking space mission just launched to study the invisible force field that makes life on Earth possible. The SMILE spacecraft will help scientists understand how our planet stays protected from solar storms.
A groundbreaking space mission just launched to unlock the mysteries of how Earth protects itself from solar storms. Scientists will now get an unprecedented view of our planet's invisible magnetic defense system.
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.
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.
Anyone in the world can now pilot virtual planes across Google Earth without downloading software. The tech giant just opened its experimental flight simulator to all users through their web browsers.
Scientists have discovered a massive water reservoir trapped 700 kilometers beneath Earth's surface that could be larger than all our oceans combined. The finding challenges decades of assumptions about where our planet's water originally came from.
Stanford researchers created the first global map of rare earthquakes that happen deep in Earth's mantle, not just the crust. The breakthrough could unlock secrets about how all earthquakes begin.
