Four astronauts on humanity's first crewed mission to the Moon in over 50 years just gave us the ultimate Earth Day gift: a breathtaking view of the line dividing night and day on our home planet. The image reminds us how space exploration helps us understand and protect the world we're trying to preserve.
While Earth has about a billion years left before the Sun destroys it, one researcher has mapped out an audacious plan to extend our planet's livable future by trillions of years. The megaengineering proposal tackles everything from blocking deadly solar radiation to creating an artificial sun.
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 at the University of Oklahoma discovered a 450-million-year-old fossil that preserved something almost never seen: soft tissue from an ancient sea creature. The find gives researchers an unprecedented look at life in Earth's earliest ocean ecosystems.
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 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.
Scientists in northern Spain discovered a complete wasp frozen in amber for 105 million years, revealing a brand new species that's rewriting the insect family tree. The tiny time capsule from the age of dinosaurs shows how nature can preserve life in stunning detail.
BBC Earth just dropped a three-hour nature documentary featuring never-before-seen moments like chameleons giving birth to live babies, all narrated by Sir David Attenborough. The stunning collection brings 50 years of the world's most incredible wildlife footage to screens everywhere.
Museums across Uzbekistan are drawing global visitors with rare Silk Road artifacts, early photography collections, and interactive exhibits that bring centuries of cultural exchange to life. From ancient wall paintings in Samarkand to pioneering art preservation in Nukus, these institutions are making history accessible to new generations.
BBC Earth's latest documentary showcases the remarkable survival stories of Madagascar's unique animal kingdom, including speed-racing chameleons and resilient lemur families. The film captures nature's most vulnerable creatures thriving against the odds on the isolated island.
