The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration just opened applications for up to $99 million in funding dedicated to Pacific salmon recovery projects. This historic investment could help reverse decades of decline for one of the West Coast's most iconic fish species.
A new satellite just reached its permanent home 1 million miles from Earth, where it will protect our planet from dangerous solar storms. SOLAR-1 is now standing guard between the sun and Earth, ready to give us early warning of incoming space weather.
Scientists just solved a three-year puzzle from the ocean floor. That glowing golden orb discovered deep in Alaska's waters turned out to be the leftover base of a giant sea anemone.
Scientists finally solved the mystery of a strange golden object found two miles beneath the Gulf of Alaska. The answer reveals secrets about one of the ocean's rarest creatures.
After nearly three years of scientific detective work, researchers have finally identified the mysterious golden orb found two miles deep in the Gulf of Alaska. The shimmering discovery turned out to be part of a giant deep-sea anemone, proving that Earth's oceans still hold countless secrets waiting to be unlocked.
A mysterious golden sphere found on the Alaskan seafloor in 2023 stumped scientists for nearly three years. Advanced DNA testing finally revealed it was part of a giant deep-sea anemone, showing how ocean exploration continues unlocking nature's secrets.
Scientists have finally solved the puzzle of a mysterious golden blob discovered two miles deep in the Pacific Ocean off Alaska. The strange object turned out to be something left behind by a rare deep-sea creature.
A glowing golden sphere discovered two miles beneath Alaska's ocean surface puzzled researchers for months. DNA testing just revealed it's the remnants of a rare deep-sea anemone that can grow tentacles seven feet long.
Scientists are combining environmental DNA analysis with artificial intelligence to monitor ecosystems as they change, turning luxury cruise ships into floating laboratories. This breakthrough could help us protect endangered species and adapt to environmental shifts faster than ever before.
Scientists have finally identified the mysterious golden orb discovered two miles underwater off Alaska in 2023. It turned out to be part of a giant sea anemone, solving a puzzle that required DNA sequencing and expertise from multiple research teams.
After a volcano buried a mile of road in lava, helicopter crews kept a crucial climate monitoring station alive for three years. Now the road is rebuilt and scientists are back on the ground at one of Earth's most important environmental observatories.
A geomagnetic storm stronger than any in 20 years could bring the aurora borealis as far south as Texas this week. Millions of Americans will have a rare chance to witness nature's most spectacular light show from their own backyards.
The aurora borealis is putting on a show this Sunday night, with the northern lights potentially visible across 10 states along the U.S.-Canada border. No special equipment needed—just your smartphone and clear skies.
Marine scientists spotted a living white abalone near California's Channel Islands for the first time in five years, offering fresh hope for a species that's declined 99% since the 1970s. The discovery happened during a citizen science survey designed to locate the critically endangered sea snails before it's too late.
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 powerful solar flare erupted from the sun on May 10, sending a burst of charged particles toward Earth that could create stunning aurora displays across northern states and the UK by May 13. Space weather forecasters say the glancing blow could trigger minor geomagnetic storm conditions.
Scientists used artificial intelligence to scan 1.2 million satellite images and discovered floating algae is spreading across Earth's oceans, marking a major shift in marine ecosystems. The breakthrough shows how AI can help us understand and prepare for changes in our oceans.
For the first time in 50 years, astronauts will travel beyond Earth's protective magnetic field, but NASA has them covered. A 24/7 space weather monitoring system will track the Sun's most powerful eruptions to keep the Artemis II crew safe.
A startup launched by Stanford students is beating Europe's top weather agency at predictions using AI and 400 weather balloons. Their forecasts are now as accurate five days ahead as traditional models are just one day out.
A spectacular natural light show is coming to the northern United States this weekend, giving millions a chance to witness the aurora borealis without traveling to the Arctic. Solar winds from the sun are creating perfect conditions for viewing Saturday and Sunday nights.
