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.
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.
Australian astronomers have discovered a planet candidate nearly identical to Earth's size, orbiting a Sun-like star with a 50% chance of being habitable. The find brings scientists one step closer to finding Earth's twin after 30 years of searching.
Australian scientists discovered a potentially habitable Earth-sized planet orbiting a Sun-like star, the first rocky world ever found in a habitable zone around such a star. The planet, nicknamed "where Earth meets Mars," could harbor liquid water.
Astronomers discovered a rocky planet nearly identical to Earth in size and orbit, circling a Sun-like star closer than any similar world we've found. It might be our most promising neighbor yet in the search for life beyond our solar system.
NASA's Webb Space Telescope just solved a cosmic mystery about a planet 15 times heavier than Jupiter. Scientists proved it formed the same way Earth did, rewriting what we thought possible for giant planets.
Scientists have discovered a rocky planet in the habitable zone just 25 light-years away, making it one of our closest cosmic neighbors. The super-Earth receives similar radiation to our own planet and could potentially harbor liquid water and life.
NASA scientists have designed a giant space umbrella that could help telescopes spot planets like Earth around distant stars. The breakthrough concept combines space and ground technology to search for signs of life beyond our solar system.
A PhD student discovered an Earth-sized planet in the habitable zone by manually searching old telescope data that algorithms missed. The find gives scientists a rare target to study with next-generation telescopes.
A citizen scientist discovered a potentially habitable planet by manually combing through old NASA data that automated searches overlooked. The find has astronomers eager to point their most powerful telescopes at this rare Earth-sized world.
Scientists have discovered an Earth-sized rocky planet orbiting a nearby star, and it still has an atmosphere we might be able to study. The exoplanet, named TOI-4616 b, could help us understand worlds beyond our solar system.
Christina Koch returned from NASA's Artemis II mission with a powerful message about humanity's shared connection. After watching Earth shrink to a fragile sphere through her spacecraft window, she realized our entire planet functions as one crew.
Astronomers have discovered TOI-199b, a rare giant exoplanet with surprisingly Earth-like temperatures, marking the first detailed atmospheric study of a temperate gas giant. The breakthrough opens new possibilities for understanding planets beyond our solar system.
Astronomers discovered four "baby" planets caught in the act of transforming into the galaxy's most common type of world. The breakthrough solves a mystery about how super-Earths and sub-Neptunes take shape.
Scientists just discovered a rare giant planet 330 light-years away with surprisingly comfortable temperatures around 175°F. The methane-rich world could unlock secrets about how planets form and evolve across the universe.
Scientists discovered a rare giant planet with surprisingly comfortable temperatures and a methane-rich atmosphere. The finding opens new doors for understanding how planets form and evolve.
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 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 have discovered a rocky planet nearly identical to Earth in size and orbit, circling a Sun-like star in our cosmic neighborhood. The planet could harbor conditions for life if it has the right atmosphere.
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.
