New climate modeling reveals that complex life on Earth will survive far longer than scientists previously thought. Researchers found that even as our Sun brightens, plants and other life forms have at least 1.3 billion years before conditions become uninhabitable.
A major science organization is launching a digital series that shows how Earth science research translates into real solutions for communities worldwide. The series premiews in December 2026 and goes global in January 2027.
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 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 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.
Every year, Venus and Jupiter appear to nearly touch in our night sky—and scientists say this cosmic dance is actually a sign that Earth's orbit is perfectly arranged for life. Our solar system's rare "flat pizza" shape keeps planets stable and our climate livable.
Scientists have developed a groundbreaking method to track Earth's vegetation health by calculating its "green center of mass," revealing an unexpected northward and eastward shift in global greenness. The discovery offers hope for understanding how our planet is adapting to environmental change.
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.
Scientists reveal Jupiter wandered into our inner solar system billions of years ago, disrupting rocks and shaping planets in ways that made Earth habitable. Without the gas giant's cosmic road trip, we might not be here.
Scientists are calling for more collaborations between artists and researchers to rebuild public confidence in science. The strategy comes as funding cuts threaten research programs worldwide.
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 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.
Over 900 Calgary students from Grade 5 to 12 are presenting their self-designed science experiments at the city's largest youth science fair this weekend. Two Grade 12 students developed a promising wound infection detector using red cabbage extract after a cooking accident sparked their curiosity.
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.
A Bronx earth science teacher who once worked in cosmetics is transforming how students learn by tackling flooding and air quality issues right outside their school doors. Carolina Castro-Skehan just won a national teaching award for her sustainability projects that turn neighborhood challenges into powerful lessons.
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.
NASA's Juno spacecraft just discovered Jupiter's lightning strikes are at least 100 times more powerful than anything on Earth. The finding proves aging space missions still deliver groundbreaking science worth celebrating.
Six international partners just pledged $42 million to fuel Africa's ambitious 10-year science and innovation strategy. The funding will help African nations build stronger research systems and solve local challenges through homegrown science.
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.
A public health professor is slashing his annual research output from 15 papers to just seven, betting that quality beats quantity in science. His radical move challenges a system where some researchers now pump out more than 60 papers yearly.
