NASA and the U.S. Space Force are teaming up to crack a cosmic puzzle that could protect our satellites and power grids from dangerous space weather. The answer lies in a mysterious doughnut-shaped ring of charged particles swirling around Earth.
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.
Scientists believe two massive structures deep inside Earth may be remnants of Theia, the planet that crashed into our world and created the Moon billions of years ago. This discovery could solve two ancient mysteries at once.
After analyzing 50-year-old lunar soil from Apollo missions, NASA scientists discovered that meteorites delivered far less water to Earth than previously thought. The finding rewrites our understanding of where Earth's oceans came from.
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 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.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope captured stunning new details of strange cosmic knots that have puzzled scientists for decades. These Earth-sized objects swirl in a nearby nebula created by a dying star like our Sun.
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.
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.
Director Peter Jackson is heading back to Middle-earth with a new Lord of the Rings movie featuring beloved characters and an exciting mystery. The film will follow Sam, Merry, and Pippin alongside Sam's daughter Elanor as they uncover secrets from the War of the Ring.

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 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.
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.
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.
A Chinese spacecraft just captured the first close-up image of a mysterious asteroid that follows Earth like a tiny companion. After traveling 621 million miles over 400 days, Tianwen-2 is now preparing to bring samples of this cosmic neighbor back home.
