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.
Europe just activated its fourth Earth-watching satellite, completing a powerful constellation that monitors our planet 24/7, rain or shine. The system helps track disasters, climate changes, and natural threats with unprecedented consistency.
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.
A new NASA instrument has passed all its tests and is ready to continue a 50-year mission tracking the energy that powers all life on Earth. Libera will launch in 2027 to help scientists forecast weather, plan agriculture, and protect our planet.
A Bengaluru startup just put the world's first dual-sensor satellite into orbit, giving Earth observation technology the ability to see through clouds, darkness, and storms. Five college friends turned their breakthrough idea into India's largest privately built Earth observation satellite.
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'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.
A satellite orbiting Earth snapped stunning photos of SpaceX's powerful Falcon Heavy rocket blasting off from Florida, showing what launches look like from above. The images reveal how advanced Earth-observation technology has become at capturing real-time events from hundreds of miles up.
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.
