Scientists have confirmed at least six moons in our solar system contain vast oceans of liquid water beneath frozen surfaces, with more discoveries likely ahead. These hidden oceans, kept liquid by tidal forces and radioactive heat, could harbor conditions for life far beyond Earth.
NASA's Juno spacecraft just confirmed that Jupiter's tiny moon Europa hides an ocean containing more than twice the water of all Earth's oceans combined beneath 29 kilometers of ice. This discovery brings scientists closer to understanding whether life could exist in this distant alien ocean.
Scientists discovered a partially frozen ocean beneath the ice of Saturn's largest moon, creating conditions that could support life. The slushy mix of ice and liquid water makes this distant world one of the most promising places to search for alien life.
A spectacular full moon will grace May Day skies, offering stargazers across North America the perfect excuse to look up at dusk. Even better news: May delivers two full moons this year, making the second one a rare blue moon.
Researchers in Japan and Germany have recreated the conditions of Enceladus' hidden ocean in their labs and discovered it can produce the building blocks of life. The findings strengthen hopes that Saturn's icy moon could harbor the ingredients needed for life to emerge.
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.
Four astronauts safely splashed down in the Pacific Ocean after a historic 10-day journey to the moon, marking humanity's first crewed lunar mission in over half a century. The successful mission clears the path for NASA's plan to land humans on the moon by 2028.
Kia just renewed its electric vehicle partnership with The Ocean Cleanup, helping the nonprofit tackle ocean plastic pollution while turning recovered waste into car parts. The collaboration shows how corporate partnerships can drive real environmental progress.
Colorful zoantharians look identical in Brazil and Okinawa despite being separated by thousands of miles, puzzling scientists who discovered they may be nature's ultimate ocean travelers. As climate change threatens traditional coral reefs, these resilient creatures are thriving and offering hope for the future of our oceans.
A young engineer who saw more plastic than fish while diving as a teenager has now removed 50,000 tonnes of trash from waterways and says he can clean the world's oceans in just ten years. His solution targets the 1% of rivers responsible for 80% of ocean plastic.
India's Chandrayaan-3 rover discovered that soil near the Moon's South Pole matches a meteorite found in Antarctica 44 years ago, solving a cosmic mystery. The breakthrough confirms theories about the Moon's ancient molten ocean and shows how asteroid impacts reshaped its surface.
Four astronauts are wrapping up humanity's first crewed journey around the moon in over 50 years, preparing for a thrilling splashdown in the Pacific Ocean. After eight days circling the moon, the Artemis II crew is just two days from making history.
Researchers discovered 31 previously unknown ocean creatures during a two-week expedition in the South Atlantic Ocean near Brazil. The Schmidt Ocean Institute captured stunning images and created 3D models of these deep-sea species.
The Ocean Cleanup is launching a game-changing strategy this summer that uses AI and drones to find plastic hotspots in real time. It's like a weather forecast, but for tracking ocean trash.
Researchers have discovered ocean currents are channeling fresh water to a new region off Australia, revealing how our planet adapts to changing climate patterns. The finding helps scientists better understand the ocean's global circulation system.
Four astronauts just completed humanity's first crewed journey to the Moon in over 50 years, splashing down safely in the Pacific Ocean after nine incredible days in space. The successful mission marks America's return to lunar exploration and opens the door for future missions to establish a permanent human presence on the Moon.
This Wednesday's full pink moon could mark the start of humanity's return to deep space after 50 years. Four astronauts are preparing to launch during a historic window that opens April 1.
Hydro Flask just launched a major partnership with Ocean Conservancy to tackle the 200 million metric tons of plastic choking our oceans. The multi-year initiative will mobilize millions of sports fans and concertgoers to ditch single-use plastics at stadiums and venues worldwide.
More than 1,000 researchers just unveiled over 1,100 newly discovered ocean species, from carnivorous "death ball" sponges to ghost sharks living miles beneath the waves. The discoveries prove our oceans are teeming with life we're only beginning to understand.
Norwegian company Blueye Robotics just launched two underwater drones that can explore ocean depths up to 500 meters, opening up the deep sea to researchers, conservationists, and anyone curious about what lies beneath. These mini-ROVs make ocean exploration more accessible than ever before.
